[Python-ideas] "import me" to display some summary of the current python installation

[Kamal Mustafa]

Never mind. site._script() as pointed out by Wes Turner is what I need:-

Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20)
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import site
>>> site._script()
sys.path = [
    '',
    '/usr/lib/python3.4',
    '/usr/lib/python3.4/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu',
    '/usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload',
    '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages',
    '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/kamal/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/kamal/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages' (doesn't exist)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: True
