Where should version independent python library go?

I have a pure python module that will work for both Python 2.6 and 2.7. Instead of putting the module into the python version specific paths, is it possible to place the library at one location that will be accessed by both Python 2.6 and 2.7? System is Ubuntu.

Where should Python libraries be installed?

Usually the Python library is located in the site-packages folder within the Python install directory, however, if it is not located in the site-packages folder and you are uncertain where it is installed, here is a Python sample to locate Python modules installed on your computer.

You can install the library in one location like /opt and then create two soft links inside /usr/lib/python2.6 and /usr/lib/python2.7 pointing to that library.
