They are probably off under some folder named site-packages that isn't within the project. Probably the easiest way to find it is to (first activating any virtual environment as necessary) run:
python manage.py shell Then import something of interest, then type its name, such as: >>> import pinax >>> pinax This will print some stuff, including the path to a .pyc file, which, in python2.x, anyway, is in the same folder as holds the .py file (which might be an __init__.py file if you've imported a package, as you probably will). Probably you really want to import an app, from your INSTALLED_APPS that you suspect of having the view you want. Then it should be easy to find both the view and it may straightforwardly have a templates subdirectory. Some templates may have to be searched for, however, and if I recall correctly that's true of pinax's included apps, though they will still be under the directory holding pinas's __init__.py, and if you're on *nix, including mac O/Sx, you should be able to use find, once you know the name of the template file (which you should be able to get from the view, or possibly from the urls.py if the template to use is extra context). If you need to trek slower, you can always follow the url chain from your root urlconf, using the import trick above to find included sub urlconfs as necessary. Once you've found things, you need to decide whether you are going to patch the installed files (wiped out on reinstall, needs to be repeated for deployment, maybe), monkey patch the necessary modules, or make a shadow version of the necessary app. Templates are easy, if you have a reasonable TEMPLATE_DIRS and the usual ordering of the template loaders, since you can dup the path to the template under your own project's templates directory, and it will be found before the on in the app. If you want a shadow app for the python code, you generally have to duplicte the entire app under your project root somewhere that will be earlier on the python path than the installed versions (I believe that pinax creates an "apps" sub-folder that is suitably set up to be on the path, I don't remember if it managed to come before the pinax included apps, but if not, you can fiddle sys.path in settings.py). You can then put your version under your own revision control system and do merges if you decide to update pinax later.
