When this feature is turned on, then setuptools doesn't create easy-install.pth, setuptools.pth, or site.py in the target site-packages dir. I don't know why not and we should probably open a ticket on the setuptools tracker and/or hack setuptools to create those files anyway. But for now (for the Tahoe-1.3.0 release), we're going to leave --multi-version mode off and require users to manually uninstall any packages which are too old and thus conflict with our newer dependencies.

# Whenever we run the 'trial' command, make sure that the build_tahoe step
- # is run as well to pass through the --multi-version flag.
+ # is run as well.
trial_index = sys.argv.index('trial')
sys.argv.insert(trial_index, 'build_tahoe')
f.write(line)
f.close()
