venv prefix has no parentheses #24316

@Phrogz

Description

@Phrogz

Type: Bug

Behaviour

In a virtual environment the Terminal does not show parentheses around the .venv prefix.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install WSL2 with Ubuntu 24.04 on Windows 11.
    • Unknown which of these versions is required to reproduce.
  2. Open VS Code and use WSL extension to connect to Ubuntu.
  3. In a new folder, issue Python: Create Environment… and select Venv and a Python 3.13 interpreter.
    • Unknown if 3.13 is required to reproduce.
  4. Issue Python: Create Terminal

EXPECTED: Same PS1 prompt as seen when activating the venv in a WSL terminal: (.venv) gkistner@wsl:~/work/test$

ACTUAL: The prompt has the correct colors separating the pieces, but lacks parentheses or space: .venvgkistner@wsl:~/work/test$
