How to find a partial directory path?
Suppose I don't know where my Django source is stored, but I know that it contains these directories in this way: django/contrib/admin.
How can I use the find command or any more appropriate coreutils command to find where this partial directory path (structure) is available?
Example output:
/home/me/python/extracted/django/contrib/admin/
/home/me/env/django/contrib/admin/
linux find coreutils

Thelocatecommand does this for you, assuming that its database is up to date.

You should use -path flag for such purpose
find /home/me -path "*django/contrib/admin*"

For people who don't have the -path option (ex: vanilla AIX install, and no GNU find installed), here is another (simple) solution:
find /home/me -print | grep "django/contrib/admin"
