Yes, as previously mentioned, use virtual environments.
These days they don't even need to be "activated". For package 'foo'
for example you could create /usr/local/lib/foo, under which you would
create a virtual environment and install the 'foo' package inside it,
and then you could do:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/foo/env/bin/foo /usr/local/bin/foo
and then you could just type 'foo' to run it.
