Pythonw.exe work in the same way as Python.exe

[ghost]

Pythonw.exe displays terminal in the same way as Python.exe, the terminal should not be displayed with this executable.

Just notices the same behavior with the virtualenv 20.0.7. While I started pyw using subprocess.Popen(), if create virtualenv, activate it and directly run pythonw - its output will be visible in the same cmd window, if run pyw - new windows will be opened.

P.S. Windows 10, Python 3.8.2 (64 bit), virtualenv 20.0.7

Additionally, prompt about venv activation is also missed, compare with the virtualenv 16.7.10 below:
