Can be either way. What I do is "python3 -m venv env" in the app directory, which creates a subdirectory called "env". (I also have some bash integration that means that any time it sees a directory called "env", it auto-activates that venv.) So the venv is inside the app (and, of course, mentioned in .gitignore).
