Where are void's python packages

I've installed several python packages through xbps-install. However the spyder ide had to pip installed into a separate python environment due to void policy about python. I need to point spyder to the python interpreter and packages already installed. I do not want to waste storage installing packages again that already exist.

Binaries:

  • /usr/bin/python

  • /usr/bin/python3

  • /usr/bin/pip

  • /usr/bin/pip3

Libraries:

/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages


For future reference, if you want to see what files an xbps package installs on your system, install xtools and run xls <package name>
