You can probably use views to this (http://www.perforce.com/perforce/r12.1/manuals/cmdref/o.views.html).

You can probably play with PYTHONPATH to do that.

That's always a problem with libraries you distribute, no matter what is the mechanism for distribution.

If you go the views/link way. You can link to tags instead of trunk (or the perforce equivalent) and then client can still to know "good" version. If you go the PyPi route, you can specify package version in setup.py dependencies (foo==0.10.2)
