It doesn't work when going from 2.x* to 2.x*, but it does work in all other cases... That's more a python issue than an RPM issue though, as it's the same thing that would happen with a source install of Python (unless the libdir were re-located).
We have good results with installing into fully versioned directories, and then symlinking a generic path to the latest installed version in the RPM %post script, i.e. /.../spam -> spam-1.2.3 /.../spam-1.2.3 This allows parallel installs of several versions, and easy switching back and forth between them. Works for our requirements, YMMV. Ciao, Jürgen
