The virtual environments act on the terminal that the programs are
being run from rather than on the programs themselves. In other
words, when you launch a virtual environment, that session of the
terminal that you're in is inside of that virtual environment until
you either issue a command to stop the virtual environment or until
you close that terminal. The ones I've used affect the prompt so that
you can see at a glance whether you're in a virtual environment or
not.
