Just write  just write which python in your terminal and you will see the python path you are using

Python  at startup  loads a bunch of values into sys path  which is  implemented  via a list of strings   including    various hardcoded places the value of  PYTHONPATH probably some stuff from startup files  I m not sure if Python has rcfiles     PYTHONPATH is only one part of the eventual value of sys path   If you re after the value of sys path  the best way would be to ask Python  thanks  Codemonkey    python -c  import sys  print sys path

The environment variable PYTHONPATH is actually only added to the list of locations Python searches for modules  You can print out the full list in the terminal like this   python -c  import sys  print sys path     Or if want the output in the UNIX directory list style  separated by    you can do this   python -c  import sys  print     join x for x in sys path if x      Which will output something like this    usr local lib python2 7 dist-packages feedparser-5 1 3-py2 7 egg  usr local lib  python2 7 dist-packages stripogram-1 5-py2 7 egg  home qiime lib  home debian  us r lib python2 7  usr lib python2 7 plat-linux2  usr lib python2 7 lib-tk  usr lib  python2 7 lib-old  usr lib python2 7 lib- dynload  usr local lib python2 7 dist- packages  usr lib python2 7 dist-packages  usr lib python2 7 dist-packages PIL  u sr lib python2 7 dist-packages gst-0 10  usr lib python2 7 dist-packages gtk-2 0   usr lib pymodules python2 7

You can also try this  Python 2 x  python -c  import sys  print   n  join sys path   Python 3 x  python3 -c  import sys  print   n  join sys path     The output will be more readable and clean  like so       System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python27 zip    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 plat-darwin    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 plat-mac    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 plat-mac lib-scriptpackages    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 lib-tk    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 lib-old    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 lib python2 7 lib-dynload    Library Python 2 7 site-packages    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 Extras lib python    System Library Frameworks Python framework Versions 2 7 Extras lib python PyObjC

Adding to  zzzzzzz answer  I ran the command python3 -c  import sys  print sys path   and it provided me with different paths comparing to the same command with python  The paths that were displayed with python3 were  python3 oriented    See the output of the two different commands   python -c  import sys  print sys path              usr lib python2 7     usr lib python2 7 plat-x86 64-linux-gnu     usr lib python2 7 lib-tk     usr lib python2 7 lib-old     usr lib python2 7 lib-dynload     usr local lib python2 7 dist-packages     usr local lib python2 7 dist-packages setuptools-39 1 0-py2 7 egg     usr lib python2 7 dist-packages     python3 -c  import sys  print sys path              usr lib python36 zip     usr lib python3 6     usr lib python3 6 lib-dynload     usr local lib python3 6 dist-packages     usr lib python3 dist-packages     Both commands were executed on my Ubuntu 18 04 machine
