Distinguish between PyPI and Debian python packages

[szepeviktor]

Good morning!

Could you help me to get pip freeze to display only packages installed by pip and to exclude packages coming from a Debian package?

The only way I've found is filename.startswith('/usr/local/lib/python')

Could you integrate it into a pip option?

It is not --local.

# pip freeze|wc -l
81
# pip freeze --local|wc -l
81

Debian wheezy

Will it work?

import pip
for dist in pip.get_installed_distributions():
    if dist.location.startswith('/usr/local/lib/python'):
        print dist.project_name

I'm closing this in deference to #1646.
I think the proper way is for pip to write an INSTALLER file, and then look for it.

Thank you!
