[Python-modules-team] [Pyro] parallel installation of pyro 3.x and 4.x (was Pyro 4 in Debian)

[Irmen]

Additionally:

As Pyro4 is substantially different from Pyro3, and there will never be a compatibility 
layer, it is probably best to have 2 differently named debian packages as well?

pyro - Pyro 3.x
pyro4 - Pyro 4.x

Alas, it seems that Pyro 4.x has been included in the recent debian squeeze release as 
package 'pyro'... As the above bug report states, that is unfortunate because of 
backward compatibility breakage.

Pyro4 is still in flux quite a bit. The 'pyro' package in debian really should be the 
Pyro 3.x series instead of 4.x.
Please advise: I *think* I have done my part by renaming the toplevel package to Pyro4, 
but as I'm not the creator/maintainer of the debian package, I don't know how to proceed 
with that.
