#
# Useful for Macs to find where libraries executable scripts like nosetests are, which may get installed locally in $HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin to avoid Mac OS X System Integrity Protection

# Since nose is available in brew Cellar's numpy, it doesn't get installed to ~/Library and isn't found otherwise.
# Rather than do an --ignore-installed which could cause all sorts of other issues, just use it from wherever it is found

Find where one or more CLI programs are installed by searching all the Python library locations

Especially useful when Python tools get installed to places not in your \$PATH - where the 'which' command can't help

usage: ${0##*/} <program> [<program2> <program3> ...]
