Pip freeze vs. pip list

by

When you are using a virtualenv, you can specify a requirements.txt file to install all the dependencies.

A typical usage:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The packages need to be in a specific format for pip to understand, which is 

feedparser==5.1.3
wsgiref==0.1.2
django==1.4.2
...

That is the “requirements format”.

Here, django==1.4.2 implies install django version 1.4.2 (even though the latest is 1.6.x).
If you do not specify ==1.4.2, the latest version available would be installed.

You can read more in “Virtualenv and pip Basics“,
and the official “Requirements File Format” documentation.
