Creating a environement variable inside a virtual environment?

Question

How do I create an environement variable to save my secret information inside a virtual enviroenment. I am using venv module in the standard library. Can anyone give me the steps? I tried editing the bash_profile file and adding a variable, but it is not accessible inside a venv!

$HOME/.bash_profile is not sourced into the activate script of the venv. You have to add your export SECRETVAR="secretvalue" to the end of the activate script instead.
