trying to install latest boto with mws support with --user flag

I would like to work with the latest boto library with MWS support.

when I try easy_install --user myusername boto then I get Downloading/unpacking myusername

It's like ignoring the flag or something.

Am I doing this correctly?

If I can get it to install then, can you have two versions of the same library running without virtualenv?

If so do the paths need to be set in the correct order?

I don't think easy_install has a --user flag, but pip does. Also leave out the myusername on the command line.

You probably can't have two versions of the same library installed at the same time without some fairly weird path hacking.
