To install Python packages in a virtual environment created using virtualenv, you can follow these steps:

Activate your virtual environment using: For Windows:
```
ve\Scripts\activate
```
For MacOS/Linux:
```
source ve/bin/activate
```
Install the desired package using pip:
```
pip install django
```
If you encounter an error related to HTTPSConnectionPool, it may be due to network restrictions or firewall settings. You can try using the --trusted-host option with pip to bypass this issue:
```
pip install django --trusted-host pypi.python.org
```
