Another magic command (python site packages)

Another "this should be a lot simpler" thing, this time to find the site packages directory (the root directory for 'from x.y import z')

python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"

Most python frameworks, including django, install themselves from a setup.py ... this is helpful when you want to start crawling around the sourcecode for the installed frameworks. In django's case you want to do this because the code is sufficiently clear to be almost self documenting.
