Python - where are Libraries stored in virtual environments?

I created a new VENV and pip installed awscli there.

I can see it installed with pip list --local.

But when I type aws - it does not recognize the command (even though I activated that VENV).

How to setup paths so that newly installed library in VENV can be recognized?

There are many ways to create a virtual environment. Let's say:

python3 -m venv my_venv

But to install some package in that particular environment, you have to activate it by:

For windows:

my_venv\Scripts\activate

For Linux or Mac:

source my_venv/bin/activate

Then if you install a package by using pip, it will be installed in that particular virtual environment. Otherwise, it will be installed in the local environment.
