           Summary: manual installation overwrites previous biopython
                    installations
           Product: Biopython
           Version: Not Applicable
          Platform: All
               URL: http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython/2009-
                    January/004893.html
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main Distribution
        AssignedTo: biopython-dev at biopython.org
        ReportedBy: dalloliogm at gmail.com


The manual biopython installation (the one made with python setup.py install)
installs all the files in a directory like this:
- /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Bio

The problem comes when you want to install biopython in a system where there is
already an old version installed.
In that case, it is not clear what happens to the old installation... are all
the old files removed before the new version is installed? Or are the two
versions 'mixed'?
