I cannot see installed packages in venv folder

Using Pycharm Community Edition and have virtualenv activated. My venv directory structure is this:

venv/
├── bin
│   ├── activate
│   ├── activate.csh
│   ├── activate.fish
│   ├── python
│   └── python3
├── include
├── lib
│   └── python3.7
│       └── site-packages
└── pyvenv.cfg

Question is: where are my 3rd party libraries which I'm sure I'm using bs4 and such, which is not reflected in the directory structure? Also, I can tell that pip is installed into my project environment from Pycharm GUI, still there is no such thing in venv directory.

Can I get an explanation for how my virtual environment look up for these dependency please?

Thanks in advance.

The libs are supposed to be in the venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/
They are themselves folders containing binaries and so files. Perhaps you did inadvertently installed them in you user directory?

If you want to know your local installed packages, run the following command in you virtualenv:

pip freeze --local

Also, pip list --local gives a prettier output, but pip freeze --local > requirements.txt is very useful to cat your current pip setup into a requirement file.
