What do you mean by "install package from local folder"? Did you run python setup.py install or pip install . or something else?
What is the output of which python3?

Have you generated an .egg-info file in your project directory? In that case, you are probably running into the problem that pip freeze is treating your module as an editable package, which breaks because it isn't associated with a VCS repo. Removing the .egg-info should solve the problem in that case. See also #21.

i run pip install -e . on local folder.

What is the output of which python3?

/usr/bin/python3

Have you generated an .egg-info file in your project directory?

yes

it did. thanks

For completeness: work is in progress to stop using pip freeze (see #32 and #41). When that is out, this catch with the local .egg-info might be eliminated, although I'm not completely sure what to expect yet.

Update: see also #53.
