title: why are all packages in 2.7/dist-packages (python)
body: <p>I am wondering why if you have both python 2 and 3, python 3 doesn't have packages in its folder, but p2 has them all. How does python3 run if it doesn't have anything? Both are working so far</p>

  <p>After installing ipython3, it seems python3 doesn't have access to other packages after all</p>
