Python has had multi-version installation of libraries for a long time: https://packaging.python.org/guides/multi-version-installs/

Unfortunately, pip came along and took over, despite lacking support for that. It would have been nice if a better packaging tool had replaced easy_install, but alas.

That only helps when installing multiple versions at the same time, it doesn't help with using multiple versions in the same application.
