Sure about what?

The activate script is created when you create the venv (using something
like `python3 -m venv /path/to/new/venv`), and it's customized with the
location of the venv.

If Thomas creates a venv in ~/venv/gf4, that's what will appear in his
venv's active script (with the ~ expanded to the path of his home
directory).

(I'm relatively new at this.  Please let me know if I've gotten any of
the details wrong.)
