Installing when > 1 version of Python ?

Hi - I want to install Lamson on a machine which has both Python 2.4 and
2.5. I want to install it under 2.5.

When I try this to use easy_install with lamson it appears that it's
wanting to install into the 2.4 version even though I'm in the 2.5
version directory. The output is shown below. Is there any work around
for this ?

I'd be just as happy with instructions on how best to install it
manually - thanks. The machine is running W2003.

Oh wait, I spoke too soon.  You're on windows.  Lamson doesn't support
windows, and it may never because windows doesn't have things like fork.
You're free to try to get it to work, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I
were you.

Yeah, easy_install is pretty horrible with multipler versions of python.
If you don't want to build an entirely separate Python as I do in these
instructions:

http://lamsonproject.org/docs/deploying_lamson.html

Then your next best chance is to use a virtualenv.  Go ahead and try the
above instructions up to step 5.  They pretty much guarantee that you'll
get a working Python and all the needed stuff no matter how screwed up
your system is.
