Even if you manage to put the code on Python path, when importing a module, python searches the paths in sys.path by order and stops at first match. So whatever module it finds first, it'll stop at that. You best bet is to copy all the code from the libraries to you codebase, change the module name of either and then import it.If you're importing modules with same name from ...

A drawback is that it doesn’t only compile the module, it also executes it, which may not be what you want. (however, it does compile the entire script even if it fails to execute the script).
