I have seen a couple posts about this and highly doubt I'm the only python dev trying to use omarchy. So for those that would rather see some solutions instead of spending the time I did to debug here are the issues and solutions I ran into when trying to use python virtual envs on Omarchy (stock).
Virtual Env not showing in shell prompt
- This is from Starship. How to configure it can be found here - https://starship.rs/config/#python but if you just want to copy pasta something then here you go. Find starship.toml in $USER/.config and just pasta this
add_newline = true
command_timeout = 200
format = "[$directory$git_branch$git_status$python]($style)$character"
... rest of file ...
[python]
symbol = "🐍 "
style = "bold yellow"
format = "[$symbol$virtualenv]($style)"
disabled = false
when you are in a python dir you'll see the snake icon and when you have a .venv active you'll see (.venv) in your prompt now.
Second issue - I noticed when sourcing venv and then changing directories the .venv was being erased from $PATH. This appears to be a function of mise. There is also an issue in their discussions here - https://github.com/jdx/mise/discussions/5918
Essentially to prevent your $PATH from being overwritten on cd create a mise.toml in the root of your project
[tools]
python = "Python version here. Example - 3.13"
[env]
_.python.venv = "whatever you name your venv here example - .venv"
Hope this helps others as it took me a minute to figure out what was happening to my virtual envs whenever I changed directory
