Find Django Source Files

[tromba...@gmail.com]

In Windows, where are the Django source files located?

In the 2nd section of the Django tutorial (docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial02/)  we find this:

    If you have difficulty finding where the Django source files are located on your system, run the following command:  

     $ python -c "
     import sys
     sys.path = sys.path[1:]
     import django
     print(django.__path__)"

Entering the above as written (separate lines) fails.  Entering everything on a single line fails.  So I did this at the DOS prompt:

      python manage.py shell

      >>>import sys

  >>>sys.path = sys.path[1:]
  >>>import django
  >>>print(django.__path__)

which returned:  ['C:\\Python34\\Lib\site-packages\\django']

Q: How do inform the authors of the tutorial that something may need editing?

Note that this is a limitation of you shell.  (I presume that you are using cmd.exe.)  On linux in bash the tutorial version works fine.

You are likely to find a number of things that are different from the experience of the document writers if you are using Windows.
