Third Party Apps Installed In Django Location

So I've installed django-messages and django-notifications into my django projects, when i was in src with pip install django-messages etc. However i can find where the files are, ive done a search of the whole folder but nothing, I've looked in lib/site-packages but nothing. Are they even in my folder or being hosted elsewhere, its so confusing.

please help

From https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/

Where ENV is a directory to place the new virtual environment.

...

Packages installed in this environment will live under ENV/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/.

...

Some paths within the virtualenv are slightly different on Windows: scripts and executables on Windows go in ENV\Scripts\ instead of ENV/bin/ and libraries go in ENV\Lib\ rather than ENV/lib/.

ENV\Lib\python2.7\site-packages\ in your case where ENV is where you created your virtual environment.

EDIT: or try 

pip freeze

this will show all packages installed by pip. Get the names of the packages you are interested in e.g. django-notifications then run:

pip show django-notifications

This will output amongst other things Location data.
