Python analog of Unix 'which'
- by bgbg
In *nix systems one can use which to find out the full path to a command. For example:
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
or whereis to show all possible locations for a given command
$ whereis python
python: /bin/python.exe /bin/python2.5-config /usr/bin/python.exe /usr/bin/python2.5-config /lib/python2.4 /lib/python2.5 /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.5 /usr/include/python2.4 /usr/include/python2.5 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1
Is there an easy way to find out the location of a module in the PYTHONPATH. Something like:
>>> which (sys)
'c:\\Python25\Lib\site-packages'
