[Distutils] Location of Packages... The Directory location, plus Documentation and Examples within a system ?

[David Lyon]

Hi All,

Once a package is installed on a system... is there any way to find out
where it was installed to?

I am looking for both metadata and a directory name/path.

In my Package Manager GUI, I want to be able to "reveal" all the 
hidden "goodies" that seem to dissapear into the subsystem.

Either "Documentation" or "Demos"

Here is an example....

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos

or

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\HTML

Under Linux, it would be just as valuable. If not more.

Regards

David
