Finding Python site-packages

Julian Bonilla — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 23:31:59 +0000

Quick way to locate the Python site-packages directory:

python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"

Most likely here on Mac OS X:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages
