To a lot of extents, it depends on how the virtual environment was created. If you installed like this py -m venv env then you would find it here .envScriptsactivate . How ever if you created the environment using conda then you would find it here Anaconda_installation_folder/envs/name_of_environment. SO brief answer to your question, you would find it withing you env folder.

If you want to automatically active virtual env or (venv). Try this.

Install virtual env

python3 -m venv venv

If you have already have venv present. you can refer use this to get the executable python3 file like this.

#referred @Arty answer above.

import sys
print(sys.executable)

this will print the python3 path of that venv.

later open command pallet ( ctrl + shift + P ) and type python as shown in image.

Then click on

and paste that path into the input box.

Now the setup is done.
Now every time you open a terminal, it will automatically open your terminal in the virtual env, and will auto-run the virtual env for you.
