6: Activating A Virtualenv( Command line Python scripting )

Once a virtualenv is created, you can activate it using source python3/bin/activate (this assumes that the virtualenv is called python3, and the folder for the virtualenv is in our current directory).

When a virtualenv is activated, the Python version and packages installed in the virtualenv will become the default Python version and packages when you type python.
