I need to find out where (finder location) each image is in a rather large LR catalog. I can't just select images and Command-R. How do I? I can program in Python, if there were a way to use that. Thanks.

You are using Cloudy Lightroom, the one with the dog splash screen? In that case, the answer is that they are in the cloud. You can set local storage, but think of that as a cache - the real file is in the cloud.

My 'overview' approach to your question might be-
Make backups first (for unexpected problems)
1) Open each of the "several Lr Catalogs".
2) Correct each catalog to be sure there are no 'missing' files in each.
3) Open the one catalog that is to be your 'one-and-only' master working catalog.
4) Import 'merge' the other CATALOGS into this one catalog by "Import from another Catalog". (NOT a photo import!)

5) Now with everything in the one 'master' catalog you can search for your duplicates with a plugin.

Teekesselchen Duplicate Finder works well in my Lr-Classic 9.2 (Windows-10).
Often a little hard to find in: Menu: Library > Plugin Extras > Find Duplicates.
