I installed a package by "pip inatall " and I want to find where the package is located on my disk.

My terminal doesn't know the commands 'lsvirtualenv' or 'workon'. The function site.getsitepackages() returned:

['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages']

None of these directories included 'okcupyd'.

Have you tried looking inside your `site-packages` folder? Usually in something like `C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages` – Mangohero1 Oct 23 '16 at 18:07
@mangoHero1, I use ubuntu, and I was looking for /usr/lib/python/site-packages. I didn't find such a directory. – CrazySynthax Oct 23 '16 at 18:12
I'll be more specific. The package I want to install is: https://github.com/IvanMalison/okcupyd – CrazySynthax Oct 23 '16 at 18:14
OK. I used: imoprt print .__path__ and I got the path. It was /home/CrazySynthax/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ – CrazySynthax Oct 23 '16 at 18:45
