Can't find the template admin/base_site.html in Django 1.8.3

Question

I am looking for the template admin/base_site.html , but I can't find it anywhere. This folder is empty

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

no admin folder here:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.8.3-py2.7.egg/django/template

or here:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.8.3-py2.7.egg/django/templatetags

Answer 1

You can also find where the file is using the Python shell:

>>> from django.contrib import admin
>>> admin.__path__[0] + "/templates/admin/base_site.html"

Since django was not installed in the other directories described in the question/answer on my computer.

Answer 2

As the docs say, it's in the contrib/admin app inside Django. So, presumably:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.8.3-py2.7.egg/django/contrib/admin/templates
