Path of an application (here Python) is not accessible from the Finder

finderpathpython

I cannot see in the Finder the path "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework" (there is no folder "Frameworks" inside "Library") although this path is the output of the error message when trying to run a jupyter notebook

Here is the whole problem:

I installed Python 3.7 on my mac. I had previously version 3.6 as well as Anaconda which I tried to uninstall. When I call python3 from Terminal it works. And after entering the following line: sys.path

['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python37.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages']

I can successfully open an jupyter notebook. However, when I tried to run the code on the Jupyter notebook, it seems that the jupyter is trying to look in the path of python 3.6 I get the following error message:

I cannot see in the finder the path "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework" (there is no folder "Frameworks" inside "Library")
