Anyone that wants to write cross-version Python code needs to be able to have multiple versions available. I'd even like to be able to have both Python 2.0 and Python 2.0.1 available on the same $prefix/$exec_prefix -- that can't be done currently. This kind of thing is pretty important when you want to take cross-version compatibility seriously. Barry A.

As more widely distributed applications are written using Python and don't want to include the interpreter, this becomes a more noticable issue. -Fred -- Fred L.
