How to get rid of the prefix (venv) after activating virtual environment?


I have generated a virtual environment:

>>>virtualenv venv -p /usr/bin/python3

And activated it:

>>>source venv/bin/activate

And then the prompt of the terminal becomes:

(venv) >>>

Is there a way to remain activated but getting rid of the (venv) prefix?

Thanks!

From the python man page:
Quote:
In interactive mode, the primary prompt is `>>>'; the second prompt (which appears when a command is not complete) is `...'. The prompts can be changed by assignment to sys.ps1 or sys.ps2.

Thanks Shruggy!

I'm not sure, though, that I figured it out:

What does it mean the "command is not complete"?

And how can I change the prompt by assignment to sys.ps1? What/where is sys.ps1?

Thanks!

Code:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.ps1="my cool prompt> "
my cool prompt>
