What I do is I statically link all the tools (I use vm-tools
exclusively), so I don't have to fiddle with all the /usr/lib symlinks
and PYTHON_PATH etc. This allows me to switch versions quickly, or to
have several versions installed at the same time.

Just Say No to shared libraries and interpreted languages ;-)
