Python - 068 : Locate a module in python #python #pythonprogramming #pythontutorial

Locating a module means finding the directory from which the module is imported. When we import a module the Python interpreter searches for the module in the following manner:

First, it searches for the module in the current directory.
If the module isn’t found in the current directory, Python then searches each directory in the shell variable PYTHONPATH. The PYTHONPATH is an environment variable, consisting of a list of directories.
If that also fails python checks the installation-dependent list of directories configured at the time Python is installed.
