How not to show the path when virtualenv is activated

Viewed 42

So, when a python virtualenv is activated on Windows, the console line appears as follows:

(env_name) C:\env_path>

Sometimes however the absolute path can get somewhat big, so hiding it and leaving the console something like this would be really helpful:

(env_name) > 

Is there a way of doing that?

Write prompt ^> in cmd. Make sure you include the space after the angled bracket (>).

If you wish to do it permanently, you can add that line at the end of your activate.bat script.
