As far as I know there has not been any consensus on how to install multiple version of a same module in python ? What are the recommended mechanism ?
I use virtualenvs for everything. Especially on unixish OSes this usually works without problems. On windows, things are a bit different, as sometimes you only get binary installers that insist on installing into the base-installation.
I could not find any documentation on the subject. Does anyone sees any issue with using standard SONAME mechanism when installing a python module ?
I don't understand that. You mean the .so.X.Y.Z-thingy under *ix? That would essentially be the pkg_resources.require-road, yes. But as it's not widely adopted, it will cause you troubles because some packages won't declare their dependencies properly.
