How can I find where Python is installed on Windows?

I want to find out my Python installation path on Windows. For example:

How can I find where Python is installed?

In your Python interpreter, type the following commands:

Also, you can club all these and use a single line command. Open cmd and enter following command

If you have Python in your environment variable then you can use the following command in cmd:

or for Unix enviroment

command line image :

It would be either of

• C:\Python36
• C:\Users\(Your logged in User)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36

If you need to know the installed path under Windows without starting the python interpreter, have a look in the Windows registry.

Each installed Python version will have a registry key in either:

In 64-bit Windows, it will be under the Wow6432Node key:

On my windows installation, I get these results:

(You can also look in sys.path for reasonable locations.)

or try using (in cmd )

In the sys package, you can find a lot of useful information about your installation:

I’m not sure what this will give on your Windows system, but on my Mac executable points to the Python binary and exec_prefix to the installation root.

You could also try this for inspecting your sys module:

If you have the py command installed, which you likely do, then just use the —list-paths argument to the command:

Installed Pythons found by py Launcher for Windows
-3.8-32 C:\Users\cscott\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe *
-2.7-64 C:\Python27\python.exe

The * indicates the currently active version for scripts executed using the py command.

If You want the Path After successful installation then first open you CMD and type python or python -i

It Will Open interactive shell for You and Then type

Hit enter and you will get path where your python is installed .

To know where Python is installed you can execute where python in your cmd.exe.

You can search for the «environmental variable for you account». If you have added the Python in the path, it’ll show as «path» in your environmental variable account.

but almost always you will find it in «C:\Users\%User_name%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python_version«

the ‘AppData‘ folder may be hidden, make it visible from the view section of toolbar.

If anyone needs to do this in C# I’m using the following code:

Go to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36 if it is not there then open console by windows+^R Then type cmd and hit enter type python if installed in your local file it will show you its version from there type the following import os import sys os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

This worked for me: C:\Users\Your_user_name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python

My currently installed python version is 3.7.0

Hope this helps!

if you still stuck or you get this

simply do this replace 2 \ with one

I installed 2 and 3 and had the same problem finding 3. Fortunately, typing path at the windows path let me find where I had installed it. The path was an option when I installed Python which I just forgot. If you didn’t select setting the path when you installed Python 3 that probably won’t work — unless you manually updated the path when you installed it. In my case it was at c:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe

If you use anaconda navigator on windows, you can go too enviornments and scroll over the enviornments, the root enviorment will indicate where it is installed. It can help if you want to use this enviorment when you need to connect this to other applications, where you want to integrate some python code.

win32gui.FindWindow — проблема со скриншотом

Всем доброго времени суток!

Пишу код по уроку на Youtube. Сам код идентичен тому, что пишет автор видео.

Проблема в hwnd = win32gui.FindWindow(None, ‘Discord’). Получаю скриншот черного цвета. И так не только с Discord, но и с другими окнами, например Steam или любая игра. При этом стандартный блокнот отображается нормально. Если убрать комментирование строки 16, и закомментировать 15 строку, то все будет работать в реальном времени, но на всех окнах. Мне же нужно именно одно окно, которое я сам укажу.

В чем может быть проблема? Заранее спасибо за ответы.

Python win32gui SetAsForegroundWindow function not working properly

I am trying to write a program that finds a window by searching for its title. Once it has found the window, it will attempt to bring it to front. I am using win32gui API to achieve this. I am able to get it to work for the most part, but for some reason it does not work if the taskmanager is in front. I have the follow sample code.

I pieced this together from multiple online sources. It seems to work for the most part but for some windows like the task manager, it’ll work sometimes but fails the rest. When it doesnt work properly, all I notice is the application icon blinks yellow. Is there a proper way of doing this to make sure the window that I am interested in is set to foreground 100% of the times? I am not sure if this is relevant but I am using Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) with Service Pack 1.

I found a solution: if taskmanager, then kill it. I added a method to cWindow :

Call this method just after cW = cWindow() .

Another bug trap is to prevent this exception in SetAsForegroundWindow :

just send an alt key before the win32gui call:

Last, if I may, do not compare != None but is not None . More pythonic 😉

This is the full code:

Note: The following deals only with making sure that always-on-top windows such as Task Manager are hidden before activating the window — it assumes that the activation part itself works fine, which may not be the case. The conditions under which a process is allowed to call the SetForegroundWindow Windows API function are listed here.

Task Manager is special in two respects:

• By default, it is set to display always on top, i.e., above all other windows.
• Even when that is turned off ( Options > Always on Top unchecked), you can still make it display on top of other always-on-top windows (something that ordinary windows seemingly cannot do).

• is working — in my tests — in the sense that the target window does become the active window.
• is not working in the sense that the Task Manager window still stays on top of the (maximized) window.
  • even trying to make your window an always-on-top window as well wouldn’t help, unfortunately.

Specifically checking for the presence of the Task Manager window and minimizing it is an option, but note that there may be other always-on-top windows, so for a robust solution you have to identify all open always-on-top windows and minimize them:

The following tries hard to identify all always-on-top windows except the Task Bar and Start button, and minimizes (effectively hides) any such windows.

The new methods are hide_always_on_top_windows and _window_enum_callback_hide .
