    <p>My question assumes you are using the same python versions on those different linux distributions. I also exclude virtual environments from my question.</p> <p>I use the Debian based distribution Ubuntu. There the path to the python standard library (the modules/packages written in python) is <code>/usr/lib/python2.7</code>. The path to "external" python packages is <code>/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages</code>.</p> <p>A system independent way to get these paths is greatly appreciated.</p> <h2>Edit1</h2> <p>I found:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib &gt;&gt;&gt; print get_python_lib() /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; print get_python_lib(standard_lib=True) /usr/lib/python2.7 </code></pre> <h2>Edit2</h2> <p>I think the approach in the first edit is deprecated since I can only find this up and untill the python2.5 docs. The new approach (in 2.7 docs):</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import sysconfig &gt;&gt;&gt; sysconfig.get_path_names() ('stdlib', 'platstdlib', 'purelib', 'platlib', 'include', 'scripts', 'data') &gt;&gt;&gt; print sysconfig.get_path('platlib') /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages </code></pre> <p>I haven't found yet how to find <code>/usr/lib/python2.7</code> with sysconfig. For now I'll work with the deprecated approach and proceed under the assumption that this yields the desired results.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
