[New-bugs-announce] [issue38623] Python documentation should mention how to find site-packages

[Peter Bittner]

New submission from Peter Bittner <peter.bittner at gmx.net>:

A popular question on StackOverflow is, "How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory?" [1]

While this may hint at a deeper problem that needs to be solved, a user suggested [2] the accepted answer to be added to Python's official documentation.

The most appropriate place I could find to add related information is ``Doc/tutorial/modules.rst``.
