+#. List packages installed in editable mode
+
+When some packages are installed in editable mode, ``pip list`` outputs an
+additional column that shows the directory where the editable project is
+located (i.e. the directory that contains the ``pyproject.toml`` or
+``setup.py`` file).

+           }
+         ]
+
+.. note::
+
+   Contrarily to the ``freeze``  comand, ``pip list --format=freeze`` will not
+   report editable install information, and will report the version of the
+   package at the time it was installed.
