The are times were you may need to print the location of a python module. There are a number of ways to achieve this. However the most simplistic method have found is to use ‘inspect’.
Below shows you an a example,
>>> import inspect
>>> import urllib2
>>>
>>> print inspect.getfile(urllib2)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.pyc
