Where are Anaconda libraries stored?
If you accept the default option to install Anaconda on the “default path” Anaconda is installed in your user home directory: Windows 10: C:\Users\\Anaconda3\ macOS: /Users//anaconda3 for the shell install, ~/opt for the graphical install. See installing on macOS.
Where are Python libraries found?
Usually the Python library is located in the site-packages folder within the Python install directory, however, if it is not located in the site-packages folder and you are uncertain where it is installed, here is a Python sample to locate Python modules installed on your computer.
Can I use pip install in Anaconda?
Both pip and conda are included in Anaconda and Miniconda, so you do not need to install them separately. Conda environments replace virtualenv, so there is no need to activate a virtualenv before using pip. It is possible to have pip installed outside a conda environment or inside a conda environment.
What is Python Dist packages?
dist-packages instead of site-packages. Third party Python software installed from Debian packages goes into dist-packages, not site-packages. This is to reduce conflict between the system Python, and any from-source Python build you might install manually.
What is Python site-packages?
site-packages is the target directory of manually built Python packages. When you build and install Python packages from source (using distutils, probably by executing python setup.py install ), you will find the installed modules in site-packages by default.
How to find Python scripts in Anaconda Python?
Each Anaconda installation should have a folder of that name. Create a new text file in that directory, naming it such that it has the file extension .pth (e.g., a file named extrapythonfolders.pth would be fine). Within that text file, you can list directories that you want to include in your PYTHONPATH, one per line.
Do you need to change the path of Anaconda?
No, the only thing that needs to be modified for an Anaconda environment is the PATH (so that it gets the right Python from the environment bin/ directory, or Scripts on Windows). The way Anaconda environments work is that they hard link everything that is installed into the environment.
Can a Python module be saved in Anaconda?
(The following information applies only to Anaconda installations. The basic idea applies to any python installation, but the precise ways of addressing the issue are different.) Suppose you write a Python module called, say, coolscript which has all kinds of cool functions that you wrote. Maybe you saved it on your computer’s desktop.
How can I permanently include packages in python-anaconda?
But how can I permanently include packages/folders into the PYTHONPATH of an Anaconda environment so that code that I am currently working on can be imported and is still available after a reboot? which is not really convenient. Any hints?
