Python analog of Unix 'which'
If you do:
modulename.__file__
You will get a full path return of that exact module. For example, importing django:
>>>> import django
>>> django.__file__
'/home/bartek/.virtualenvs/safetyville/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/__init__.pyc'
Edit: I recommend seeing the comments below for some good insight if you haven't had a chance to.
