Activating/deactivating a virtualenv

I started working on my first python API hello world example on Friday on my VPS that is running Ubuntu 14.04. I used python3, created folder, virtualenv, activated it and then electricity went out and my connection broke.

I've left it there, and tried to continue where I stopped. Now, I can't find a way to "get into active" mode (to get that command-line view saying something like 

(myprojectenv)user@host:~/myproject$

I've searched for "deactivate" somewhere in order to re-activate it again, but can't find anything such.

Any help understanding what is proper way of handling Virtualenv's is appreciated.

You have to activate you virtualenv again. In bash you have to source the activate file:

source myprojectenv/bin/activate

OK, if someone ends up in similar situation as I did.

Just "activate" your virtualenv again:

$source yourenv/bin/activate

That will re-activate it, and then you can "deactivate".
