How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory?

Question

How do I find the location of my site-packages directory?

Answer 1

Something that has not been mentioned which I believe is useful, if you have two versions of Python installed e.g. both 3.8 and 3.5 there might be two folders called site-packages on your machine. In that case you can specify the python version by using the following:

py -3.5 -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[1])
