Why is pip adding extra dependencies to my djangoapp when i run virtualenv?

I'm following herokus getting-started guide for Django.

I've set-uped and sourced an virtual env:

virtualenv venv --distribute

source venv/bin/activate

after this I try to install a few things:

pip install Django psycopg2 dj-database-url

I create a project and pip freeze the requirements. At this point I get two extra requirements:

Django==1.4.1
distribute==0.6.28
dj-database-url==0.2.1
psycopg2==2.4.5
wsgiref==0.1.2

Where did they come from?

You requested to install distribute instead of setuptools by including --distribute flag while creating virtualenv. And wsgiref is installed also at start, please see Why does pip freeze report some packages in a fresh virtualenv created with --no-site-packages?
