I am trying to build a instagram bot using instapy on google colab. I have installed the package using the following command in colab:
!pip3 install instapy
The issue is that I need to change some files in this module (ik its not recommended). But I cannot locate where in the google colab file system is this module installed.
I have tried looking into the "home" directory which is empty, as well as "/usr/lib/pythonx.x" of all the installed python versions but not there. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you
Run the below code snippet in google colab for getting the directory where the packages are installed. Replace package
in inspect.getfile(package)
with the package you want to find the installation directory for. The package is located in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/instapy
import os
import inspect
import instapy
package_path = os.path.dirname(inspect.getfile(instapy))
print(package_path)
