sudo apt-get install
安装的package存放在 /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages目录中
pip 或者
easy_install安装的package存放在/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages目录中
手动从源代码安装的package存放在site-packages目录中
The dist-packages is a Debian-specific convention that is also
present in its derivatives, like Ubuntu. Modules are installed to
dist-packages when they come from the Debian package manager into
this location:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Since easy_install and pip are
installed from the package manager, they also use dist-packages,
but they put packages here:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/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.
This means that if you manually install Python from source, it uses
the site-packages directory. This allows you to keep the two
installations separate, especially since Debian and Ubuntu rely on
the system version of Python for many system utilities.
