This is possible. A so called "distribution" can install packages of a different name (for example, the distribution "Zope" installs (among others) a package "ZPublisher"). In addition, the actual installation typically has lost metadata information (e.g. the version number). Therefore, "pip" may use "*.dist-info" or "*.egg-info" directories to provide this metadata. Look into those directories to find out which packages are installed for the corresponding distribution. You can then check whether those packages are truely available (and if not delete the *-info* directory). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
