Why not pip freeze?
-------------------

- ``pip freeze`` only saves the packages that are installed with ``pip install`` in your environment.
- ``pip freeze`` saves all packages in the environment including those that you don't use in your current project. (if you don't have virtualenv)
- and sometimes you just need to create requirements.txt for a new project without installing modules.
