Not properly detecting IPython usage inside virtualenvs created via uv venv

[joshburnett]

I used the uv tool to create my venv and also to install ipython into it (via uv pip install ipython). When starting ipython I see the following warning:

C:\Users\jburnett1\Code\coordinates data analysis\.venv\Lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py:937: UserWarning: Attempting to work in a virtualenv. If you encounter problems, please install IPython inside the virtualenv.
  warn(

But if I examine the location of the IPython module it's definitely inside the currently activated venv:

import IPython
IPython
Out[4]: <module 'IPython' from 'C:\\Users\\jburnett1\\Code\\coordinates data analysis\\.venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\__init__.py'>
import sys
sys.executable
Out[6]: 'C:\\Users\\jburnett1\\Code\\coordinates data analysis\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe'

I did find this very old issue which seemed to have a similar root cause, but the fix doesn't apparently work with the way that uv creates venvs & installs packages into them.

My version info:

sys.version
Out[7]: '3.12.1 (tags/v3.12.1:2305ca5, Dec  7 2023, 22:03:25) [MSC v.1937 64 bit (AMD64)]'
IPython.__version__
Out[8]: '8.22.2'

This is w/ uv version 0.1.6.

Checking further, it appears that this issue only shows up when launching the python console within the PyCharm IDE (I'm running the latest Community Edition). When I launch IPython from the terminal I do not see the warning.
