I’ve got the pip module working to set up my virtualenv:

`  
tasks:

- name: create virtualenv and install third-party packages  
pip: chdir=“{{ remote\_base\_dir }}/deploy”  
virtualenv=python-env  
executable=“{{ remote\_base\_dir }}/deploy/python-env/bin/pip”  
requirements={{ item }}  
with\_items:
- base-requirements
- web-requirements  
`

But, I’d like to also customize the python prompt by passing:

`  
–prompt="(my prompt) "

`

to the virtualenv command. How can I do that?
