where did I install Django

[jdw]

Newbie alert...

I installed Django and finished the first tutorial.  On the second one, I could not log in to the website because  I didn't set a superuser.  Ultimately, I figured out my problem, but I realized I have no idea where I installed Django.  Is there an easy way to find out where the code lives?

I realized I had no idea when the tutorial suggested running this:

python /path/to/django/contrib/auth/create_superuser.py

If you're on Linux, running:

$ sudo find / -type d -name django -print

...should do the trick. On my system, it's in '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django

Cheers.

From an answer on stackoverflow.com (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/122327/how-do-i-find-the-location-of-my-python-site-packages-directory):

Enter python shell by executing python binary:

    from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib


    print(get_python_lib())

It usually resides in a folder named site-packages or dist-packages somewhere in the Python directory. In Windows it is different than in Unix.

When all else fails, you can run a find command on Unix, or a do an advanced search in Windows.
