As someone who doesn't develop in python but occasionally tries to run python projects, it's pretty annoying to have to look up how to use venv every time.

I finally added two scripts to my path for `python` and `pip` that automatically create and activate a virtual env at `./.venv` if there isn't one active already. It would be nice if something like that was just built into pip so there could be a single command to run like Ruby has now with Bundler.
