how to locate the template files of django-apps installed?

Question

I am using Django Rest Framework in my project. I did pip install djangorestFramework.

Currently the template that is rendered is default ones that is shipped with djangorestFramework. I want to look into the template code so that I can override and customize to my needs.

It is specified in the documentation on how to override certain features/themes. But I want to change almost everything. so it would be great if I could have access to those templates to help build mine.

On a related note, how to find the templates directories of django-apps installed.

Did you check the [django rest framework's github repository](https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/)? — Matt Giltaji, Jul 23 '14 at 00:27
@MattGiltaji: I want to locate it inside my project (since I have pip installed it) — eagertoLearn, Jul 23 '14 at 00:30
yes I am using virtualenv. I cloned this project: https://github.com/tomchristie/rest-framework-tutorial. I don't see any template directory in there — eagertoLearn, Jul 23 '14 at 00:32
It will be inside your virtual environment in a path like `env\Lib\site-packages\rest_framework` — arocks, Jul 23 '14 at 06:10

Maybe you could use django-debug-toolbar, you will have a template tab for every page where you can find all the used templates to build the page and for every template the absolute path is given.
