Where is Python installed on Raspberry Pi?

Question

I am trying to set up Mercurial on a Raspberry Pi, but the instructions I am using are for Ubuntu. It suggests that the Python folder is usr/bin/python, but this does not exist on my Pi.

Where is Python installed on a Raspberry Pi?

Solution

Ok, so it is in usr/bin/ after all.

Just need to work out why the hgweb.cgi is displaying a blank page now. (I assumed it was because it was pointing at an incorrect directory, but this is now clearly not the case).

What OS is your Pi running?

The command which python will tell you exactly where the executable is. Do you need the link to the modules and all those goodies too, or just the executable?

Sources and importables are in e.g. /usr/lib/python2.7

There are dozen possible reasons. For starters are you actually using it as a CGI or were you trying to tie it into your web server via some FastCGI wrapper or so? It just adds to the places where breakage can occur.
