However, it may require changes to other packages to make use of. We utilize setuptools to install the package as a multiple version (setuptools installs it into an alternate path) and then packages that need the non-default version have to add it to their path somehow. There is a setuptools provided way to do that too:
__requires__ = ['cement >= 2.0'] import pkg_resources http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs#Multiple_Versions In EPEL we're carrying a few of these packages for web frameworks since the versions that shipped with RHEL are old or different web frameworks require different versions. Also note -- Conflicts aren't allowed in fedora packages except under some very specific circumsances. I don't think EPEL has a divergence here. Also note -- personally I wouldn't mind this or several other packages being free to upgrade. But then agian, I'm not personally a consumer of an old version of them :-) -Toshio
