Where does PIP Store / Save Python 3 Modules / Packages on Windows 8?

Question

I have looked everywhere and can't find where the packages are installed.

Further, are the packages from pip, modules, libraries or just packages in python terminology?

Answer 1

Use this command to list global packages with their locations:

pip list -v  # output example (windows 10): # Package                   Version   Location                                                         Installer # ------------------------- --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------- # adal                      0.4.5     c:\users\test\appdata\roaming\python\python36\site-packages      pip # aiocache                  0.10.0    c:\program files\python36\lib\site-packages                      pip 

When using virtual environment the local packages is located in project folder:

<project folder>\venv\Lib\site-packages
