[Distutils] Two versions of SQLAlchemy side-by-side?

[Alexander Michael]

The quick hack to request a version, good to use in the interpreter or
a "throw-away" script:

import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.require('SQLAlchemy==0.4.5')
import sqlalchemy

This works when the directory that SQLAlchemy-0.4.5-py2.4.egg is in is
listed in sys.path.
