The current design of IPS assumes that only a single version
of a package is installed at once in a single image.  There is no
good reason to violate this. If you wish to ship multiple versions of
python because of incompatibilities, the name of the package should
include the version number, and dependencies should reflect that
and bind to the version that is appropriate.  A distro can always ship
a generic python package that does nothing but require the latest
python version if a generic python package is desired.
