Why do Ubuntu system packages show up with pip freeze/how do I clean up pip freeze?

Question

I accidentally installed jupyter and all its dependent packages outside of venv. I'm trying to delete them all by hand, but there are a lot of other packages too ( command-not-found , systemd-python , ubuntu-drivers-common , python-debian ) that I'm not sure I can delete. Yet they show up at pip freeze. How I can clean it up? I wanna work with packages in venvs only.

Answer 1

Running

pip freeze --local

will return only packages installed inside venv.

Don't try to remove the packages you listed, removing them might break you OS installation.
