You can check if the 'venv' folder is part of a path using:
import os.path
dirpath = os.path.dirname(filename)
dirnames = []
while dirpath:
dirpath, dirname = os.path.split(dirpath)
dirnames.append(dirname)
if 'venv' in dirnames:
# do whatever
But how would you know that 'venv' is the name of a virtual
environment folder? A virtual environment folder can be called
anything.
You can write some code to test if a particular path represents the
base directory of a virtual environment but I expect it would probably
be fragile. Without knowing why you want to do this I suggest that you
might want to find a different general approach to your real problem.
