I’m learning to create and manage virtual environments, and when I did pip list, I noticed that I have the following packages already installed:

Package      Version
------------ -------
altgraph     0.17.2
distlib      0.3.8
filelock     3.14.0
future       0.18.2
macholib     1.15.2
pip          24.0
platformdirs 4.2.1
setuptools   58.0.4
six          1.15.0
virtualenv   20.26.1
wheel        0.37.0

I certainly did not install any of them myself, except for virtualenv and the pip update. I think they might have installed automatically for some random projects that I downloaded from the github and later deleted. I certainly don’t need them for any of my already existing projects. Is it a good idea to uninstall some of the packages to avoid clutter in my global environment? If so, which ones should I delete and which ones should I keep? Or should I leave as it is to avoid breaking things? I want to keep up with good practices. I’m using MacOS.

I tried looking up which packages should be there by default and my conclusion was that maybe I should keep these ones:

pip          24.0
setuptools   58.0.4
virtualenv   20.26.1

Should I go with uninstalling everything else?
