X-post: discussions around standardizing local/workspace virtual environment naming

For those that don’t follow the Packaging - Discussions on Python.org category here, there’s some discussions around virtual environments which may interest/impact those of us who try to integrate with virtual environments.

PEP 704 - Require virtual environments by default for package installers proposes making .venv the name to use when you create a virtual environment in your workspace with your code.

https://discuss.python.org/t/setting-up-some-guidelines-around-discovering-finding-naming-virtual-environments/ is me trying to see if a .venv file that acts somewhat like a virtual environment-specific symlink solution is a good idea.
