This is actually a follow-up for my thread "Trouble installing Plone". Following scenario: I have packages which run on python-2.4 and other packages which work with 2.5. Zope is a prominent example of the 2.4 gang= =2E The problem: When I emerge a python package, for example dev-python/imaging, it is only installed in the /usr/lib/python-2.*/site-packages directory of the python version which is currently enabled by eselect. Naturally, this is the most recent version: 2.5. However, as soon as a python-2.4 package depends on one of these other packages, it just doesn't work because it expects them in /usr/lib/python-2.4/site-packages= =2E How am I supposed to work around this? My current workaround is to switch temporarily to python-2.4 and re-emerge the necessary packages. However, this only works as long as there are either 2.4-packages which depend on these re-emerged ones or 2.5-packages because portage purges the corresponding byte code in the now disabled python directory.
