I have several version of python running side by side on my ubuntu
install (2.5,2.6,3.0).

I'm installing a module with a setup.py script, in this case
logilab-common, so that I can get pylint going. However, I need to
install into python 2.6, but by default it picks out 2.5 and throws
things in the site packages for that version.

Is there a standard way to specify what version of python you want to
install into? I originally installed my other python versions with the
altinstall method.

Whichever python executable that you used to run the setup.py is the version that the package gets installed to. Most likely, you will want to do something like this:

  $ python2.6 setup.py install
