Answers:

you can just print it out.

>>> import django
>>> print django.__file__
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/django/__init__.pyc
>>>

or:

import inspect
import django
print inspect.getabsfile(django)

This (or something like this) also works when you are searching for files in other packages:

$ dpkg -L python-django | grep __init__.py

Its now at

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/....

circa 2012

A one-liner command (which is given in the django docs) to find where your django source files are:

$ python -c "import django; print(django.__path__)"
