I'm trying to do a pip freeze -l > requirements.txt. I'm running this in a virtualenv. However, even with the -l option, pip freeze gives me a list of all the packages installed in my system, which is a huge and unnecessarily long list. All I need are Flask and a few other libraries, but this is the list it gives me:

I have tried trouble-shooting this so that pip freeze -l shows only the packages in my current virtualenv root. Here is what hasn't worked so far:
- Resetting the virtualenv using either
virtualenv --clear venvorvirtualenv --no-site-packages venv. - Trying to uninstall all local packages using
pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -yfound at this answer here. I got the[Errno 1] Operation not permittederror because for some reason even though I'm in the virtualenv it tried uninstalling the packages from the OS X root.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
