There's also packaged environments like conda. It would be nice if pip
could distinguish between conda-managed packages and ones I installed
myself.

Really, though, this is what the PEP 376 "INSTALLER" file was intended
for. As far as I know, though, it was never implemented (and you'd
also need to persuade the Linux vendors, the conda people, etc, to use
it as well if it were to be of any practical use).

Agreed about reporting the installed location, though. Specific
suggestions like this would be good things to add to the pip issue
tracker.
