After upgrading pip from 1.4.x to 1.5 pip freeze outputs a list of my globally installed (system) packages instead of the ones installed inside of my virtualenv. I've tried downgrading to 1.4 again but that does not solve my problem. It's somewhat similar to this question only it's been working as expected for months. Is there any way to debug and/or repair this?
It seems like the virtualenv has no effect at all. Installing packages within it installs them globally too.

You can list only packages in the virtualenv by pip freeze --local or pip list --local . This option works irrespective of whether you have global site packages visible in the virtualenv .
Start the Anaconda Navigator application. Select Environments in the left column. A dropdown box at the center-top of the GUI should list installed packages. If not, then select Installed in the dropdown menu to list all packages.
When a package is installed globally, it's made available to all users that log into the system. Typically, that means Python and all packages will get installed to a directory under /usr/local/bin/ for a Unix-based system, or \Program Files\ for Windows.
If you want to list all the Python packages installed in an environment, pip list command is what you are looking for. The command will return all the packages installed, along with their specific version and location. If a package is installed from a remote host (for example PyPI or Nexus) the location will be empty.
I had problems with pip installing packages globally instead of in the activated virtualenv too. Have a look at pip installing in global site-packages instead of virtualenv for the question (and the answer).
Basically, the solution consisted of modifying the shebang of the pip scripts within the virtualenv as they pointed to the wrong python installation.
