I'm writing a package for Python 3--let's call it "spacegoblin". I fear someday I may need multiple versions installed and available simultaneously, even within one version of Python. So I want to plan ahead for that possibility. What would be the best way to allow this? Right now I install the package with the version in the name, like "spacegoblin_1_0" and "spacegoblin_1_1". But I have an uneasy sense that I'm doing something stupid... mainly because I've never seen anyone do this before.
A coworker said they did it like "spacegoblin.1_0" and "spacegoblin.1_1" at a previous employer. That seems like an improvement, though not the "yes that's obviously right" answer I'm holding out for. Your thoughts? Thanks, /larry/ p.s. Before you ask: no, I don't want to use "virtualenv" for this.
