To view the path of a Python package, you can use the following code to obtain it.

import os
import package_name

package_path = os.path.dirname(package_name.__file__)
print(package_path)

In this code snippet, first import the os module and the package you want to view. Then use os.path.dirname(package_name.__file__) to retrieve the package’s path and print it out. This allows you to view the path of a specific package.
