Hi all, I've got some pickled files representing graphs (using networkx, http://networkx.lanl.gov if you're interested) that were produced using version 0.36 of the library.
Now, they have released a new version of the library which is incompatible with respect to pickled files, so what I'd like to do is to write a script that loads the two versions of the library at once, unpickles with the old one, creates a new object with the new version and re-pickles it with the new version. So, I installed the two versions of the package using easy_install -m, but it looks like I can't import the two versions at once: >>> from pkg_resources import require >>> require('networkx==0.36') [networkx 0.36 (/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/networkx-0.36- py2.5.egg)] >>> import networkx as nx_old >>> require('networkx==1.0') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 528, in resolve raise VersionConflict(dist,req) # XXX put more info here pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (networkx 0.36 (/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/networkx-0.36-py2.5.egg), Requirement.parse('networkx==1.0')) Any ideas?
