[Python-Dev] standard libraries don't behave like standard 'libraries'

Oh, I see.

That's part of pkg_resources.  It looks like this:

pkg_resources.require("mylibrary==1.1.6")
import mylibrary

There are plenty of other ways to manage this, most people use systems  
like virtualenv or buildout, but that's a discussion for the normal  
python mailing list, not the development one.

Hope that helps,

Matt
