To answer your question. Create a brand new virtualenv, enter said virtualenv, make python point at whatever you want. Use said virtualenv for one thing / one service / strongly coupled things only. Create as many virtualenvs as needed. Above is safe to do, and should not conflict with system python / system packages / OS. -- Regards, Dimitri.
