On Mac OS X Python uses ~/.local directory as well.

On Unix ~/.local was chosen in favor over ~/.python because theĭirectory is already used by several other programs in analogy to Users should consult their localĪdministrator for more information. With domain logins the application data may be copied from and to the aĬentral server. The application data directory is part of the roaming profile. The codeĭoesn’t query the Win32 API, instead it uses the environment variable My Documents is not suited for application data, either.

#MAC PYTHON INSTALL LOCATION HOW TO#

Hopefully this gives you more insight into how to find the site packages used by the system level version of Python on macOS. To further help, here is a short video tutorial that I created on how to run through this process on macOS: Knowing the site packages can also allow you to see the system constraints that your program is starting off with.įrom the terminal you will enter the command: "python -m site." This should print out a list of the directories Python uses when looking for site packages or frameworks when executing Python code. This can be especially valuable for knowing which site packages are installed and which versions are being used to help you navigate the amount of work involved in architecting your program. First, let's understand why you would want to know where the site packages are installed on any system? The main reason would be for making development decisions about how to design you Python program. This technique should be applicable on macOS Mojave or High Sierra both.

So, what I wanted to do was create a short video explaining how to find these site packages and how to see what packages are installed. Recently I had a question come in from a reader on how to determine where the site packages are installed on macOS Mojave.
