virtualenv has https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/#envvar-VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT to block activate from trying to overwrite the prompt function. 

Users of venv can't do that, 3.6 added prompt but even None defaults to the current folder name.

If I may suggest either respecting the virtualenv variable or perhaps prompt=False

Specifically we've ran into this in powershell while making cmder stricter on the prompt over here: https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/1207

Thanks, Jack

Other scripts (activate, activate.csh, activate.csh) support this environment variable already. This patch updates Activate.ps1 to respect the variable - can you confirm if this change works for you?

That works fine here.

Thank you
