the Python library is found in a fixed location relative to the Python

executable named \file{python} is found on the shell command search

For instance, if the Python executable is found in
\file{/usr/local/bin/python}, it will assume that the libraries are in
-\file{/usr/local/lib/python\version}. (In fact, this particular path

is also the ``fallback'' location, used when no executable file named
\file{python} is found along \envvar{PATH}.) The user can override
this behavior by setting the environment variable \envvar{PYTHONHOME},
