[SOLVED] How not to show the path when virtualenv is activated

Issue

So, when a python virtualenv is activated on Windows, the console line prompts something as:

(env_name) C:\env_path>

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

(env_name) > 

Is there a way of doing that?


Solution

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.
