In the absence of a proper package management system (as implemented in operating systems that solved this problem decades ago), you can't expect it to Just Work. Parallel installation of multiple versions, detection of previous versions, upgrade and uninstallation, dependency management – these are problems solved by a package manager, and ‘setup.py’ doesn't play well with them. Python's ‘setup.py’ can't be expected to do the job of a package manager, especially not in parallel to the OS which often has its own package manager. -- \ “For fast acting relief, try slowing down.” —Jane Wagner, via | `\ Lily Tomlin | _o__) | Ben Finney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
