Use the active state prompt as the default prompt
In order to stop hard-coding the default prompt string into the

Support using tox-venv for testing
The tox-venv plugin for tox leverages the venv module from the

dist testenv no longer assumes the wheel package will be installed,

Rename debug testenv to demo and use sample config

`tox -e demo` will get them the log streaming to stdout and the
process bound to the invoking terminal where they can terminate it
with a simple sigint. For those who want to use a different

`tox -e demo mudpy/tests/fixtures/test_daemon.yaml` (as an example
to replicate the old "debug" behavior).
