I have a Python virtual environment named venv in the user home directory. I would like to activate this virtual environment on login. I don't want to type source venv/bin/activate each time after login. I want to type python something.py and have it always use the virtual environment.

How can I do this in the user's login scripts?

The user is only ever going to do python development in this particular virtual environment.

There might be better ways of doing this but the simplest way I can think of is modifying .bashrc file if you are using an OS Like Ubuntu. In your .bashrc file you can add a line to start your virtual environment. An example could be adding the following to the bottom of your .bashrc file:

source myvenv/bin/activate
