Where is my Django installation?

Question

I use Django but I need to find the default templates and applications.

I don\'t know where it\'s installed.

How can I find that?

Answer 1

in the CLI you can do this:

>>> import django
>>> django
<module 'django' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/__init__.pyc'>

Answer 2

Worth mentioning that if you are using a virtual env all the packages will be in your project's root venv folder under "lib" ...

Answer 3

Try this on an terminal.

$ python -v
import django # directory /home/user/.virtualenvs/myenv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django
# some other imports.

Answer 4

$ python
>>> import django
>>> django.__file__
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/__init__.pyc'
