          which python3 will show you the path to Python executable; if you want to find out the root dir where the Python library files are installed, use sys.prefix:



          $ python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.prefix)"

            Use rpm -ql. Like so:




            $ rpm -ql python
            /usr/bin/pydoc
            /usr/bin/python
            /usr/bin/python2
            /usr/bin/python2.7
            /usr/share/doc/python-2.7.5
            /usr/share/doc/python-2.7.5/LICENSE
            /usr/share/doc/python-2.7.5/README
            /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
            /usr/share/man/man1/python2.1.gz
            /usr/share/man/man1/python2.7.1.gz


            -q = Query
            -l = List



            See man rpm for all options.



            Or simply:



            $ which python
            /usr/bin/python


            ...to see where the binary is.
