Yes, one of the advertising feature of this setuptools stuff is it allows multiple version of the same module exist in the same tree. How useful it practically is, I have no idea. As for standard *nix distro, the package system is incompatible with setuptools making a non-root style installation a must. And if one must go for none-root style, it seems to be easier to manage to have multiple none-root tree. I have no idea how people typically use it under Windows/OS X.
