I'm late to the party, but this alternative might be useful. If you use pipenv in stead of standard venv, you can use pipenv run. It will activate the virtualenv before running the process. For example, this works for building sphinx:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "build html",
            "type": "process",
            "command": "pipenv",
            "args": [
                "run", 
                "sphinx-build", 
                "-b", 
                "html", 
                "${workspaceFolder}", 
                "${workspaceFolder}/_build/html"
            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "presentation": {
                "reveal": "always",
                "panel": "new"
            }
        }
    ]
}
