The -m feature of setuptools is nice, but it activates one version at a time, and this is globlal to Python unless each application is handling the version switch, wich is pretty heavy.
With or without the -m switch, scripts installed by setuptools will find the version they are specified to use, without the user needing to do anything. So, you can have a default version of an egg (used by the interpreter and non-setuptools scripts), and then some non-default versions that are used by scripts.
zc.buildout and virtualenv also have their own ways of accomplishing the same thing, e.g., by hardcoding paths in an installed script.
