How can I find where Python is installed?

Solution

  • In your Python interpreter, type the following commands:

    >>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
'C:\\Python25'

    Also, you can club all these and use a single line command. Open cmd and enter following command

    python -c "import os, sys; print(os.path.dirname(sys.executable))"
