I installed pip, and used it for several python projects, each one with its own environment. However, I guess I did set up one of them uncorrectly, as when I do pip list on bash (no environment activated) I get this entire list of installed packages on the following path:

I am no expert on python, but in other distributions I remember pip being installed with very few packages, as wheels and setuptools (if I remember right).
Are all these packages usual in a clean installation of pip when I am not working in a particular environment? Can some of them be removed?
