-Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be "activated" using a
-script in the virtual environment's binary directory. The invocation of the
-script is platform-specific (`<venv>` must be replaced by the path of the
-directory containing the virtual environment):

-When a virtual environment is active, the :envvar:`VIRTUAL_ENV` environment
-variable is set to the path of the virtual environment. This can be used to
-check if one is running inside a virtual environment.
-
-You don't specifically *need* to activate an environment; activation just
-prepends the virtual environment's binary directory to your path, so that
-"python" invokes the virtual environment's Python interpreter and you can run
-installed scripts without having to use their full path. However, all scripts
-installed in a virtual environment should be runnable without activating it,
-and run with the virtual environment's Python automatically.
-
-You can deactivate a virtual environment by typing "deactivate" in your shell.
-The exact mechanism is platform-specific and is an internal implementation
-detail (typically a script or shell function will be used).
