Background: I'm the xlrd author. I've never even sat down in front of a Mac. xlrd is a pure-Python package. The setup.py is close to vanilla. Consequently (I'm guessing) the files should be installed on a Mac in a folder called P/lib/site-packages/xlrd where P is the folder containing the Python executable etc. It's easy to find out exactly where. Result on my Windows box: >>> import sys, xlrd; print sys.version; print xlrd.__file__ 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] C:\python25\lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init__.pyc At some stage in the distant past, the hierarchy was somewhat flatter, e.g. >>> import sys, xlrd; print sys.version; print xlrd.__file__ 2.1.3 (#35, Apr 8 2002, 17:47:50) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] C:\python21\xlrd\__init__.pyc Script files like runxlrd.py should end up somewhere else, probably in P/Scripts. If all else fails, use the shell find command. BTW, I've never had anyone else ask where files are installed, on any platform. What is your problem/concern?
