It's not a Linux problem, it's a setuptools problem. If you install a
package the old-fashioned way ("python setup.py install"), eggs that
depend on it won't recognize it's installed. I don't know whether
it's a bug or a design decision, but it's surprising to users. But
you can install any package as an egg ("easy_install
PACKAGE-DIRECTORY" or "easy_install PACKAGE.tar.gz") even if it hasn't
been eggified: setuptools will create an egg on the fly.
The bigger problem is having two copies of a package on the system,
especially when one gets upgraded but the other doesn't. It may be
easier to delete the distro package. I use the "Administrator
Installation" technique to put self-compiled packages in
/usr/local/lib/python2.4, and distro packages in
/usr/local/lib/python2.4.
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations
/root/.pydistutils.cfg:
[install]
prefix = /usr/local
install_lib = /usr/local/lib/python2.4
[easy_install]
site_dirs = /usr/local/lib/python2.4
This will work until the distro starts using easy_install.
