That won't work.

I five or six different Django codebases that I use with some regularity and switching between them is pretty common (and fast). Actually, what I do for my normal development work is have a symlink in the directory containing all my sources that I just flip to the version I want to use at the moment. A symlink in python's site-packages points to /home/malcolm/BleedingEdge/Django/django_src/django and I just move the django_src symlink to point to the version I'm using at the moment. The reason for this extra link is because then I can do everything as user "malcolm" without having to become root or use sudo.
