Suppress python version number when virtual environment is active

Starship is awesome! Thanks! This is not related to a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

When activating a python virtual environment created locally, Starship awesomely reaches back to the project directory for the name of the virtualenv in the prompt, rather than just calling it .venv. For example, it correctly looks like this (note, I intentionally rearranged the order of my prompt to put the virtualenv first):

I couldn't find it in the documentation or issues list, but I'd like to suppress the version number after the name of the virtualenv. In my example, the virtualenv would just be (notebooks)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe a way to tweak the virtualenv variable in the format option of the python module?

Why would you want that, isn't it better if you know the python version your environment is using? i get that you can just use python --version but still.

Just a preference. I run multiple virtual environments, but usually only one version of Python (only occasionally use pyenv).

The version number in the prompt seems to be only triggered by a virtual environment called .venv. If I create a virtual environment with another name, and activate it, the name shows up in the prompt, but the version number doesn't.

What's the full name of your venv when you're "not using .venv"? If it's auto generated for you by a tool, there's a good chance the venv name itself contains the python version and that's what you're seeing.

Can you show the config of your [python] section?
