where are python packages installed on Lion?

Question

I'm pretty sure before Lion, I was using /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Although this might have been from a manual install of 2.7 on 10.6 OS X.

Anyway, any idea where standard location is for python packages that are installed?

/Library/Python/x.x/site-packages

(x.x designates the version).

	I'm not seeing the site-packages folder anymore in there though.. For instance, I have django installed, but can't find it's source files – dolan Sep 22 '11 at 2:51

Found it! Python packages are installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages by default.
