I just thought of something ... as far as I know, we've enabled searching for a command on the path - since when a venv is active in the sense of VIRTUAL_ENV being defined, PATH is also set up so that the venv's Scripts folder is on it - so we would just need to find "python.exe" on the PATH and invoke that - no need to even use the value of VIRTUAL_ENV, making implementation simpler. What do you think?
