Red Hat and derived Linux distributions arrange to have certain Python libraries installed in /usr/lib/ and other parts installed in /usr/lib64/. This is problematic for Twisted, since it results in some of Twisted being installed in one directory and the rest installed in another. Python will load a package from only one directory. You can override this default behavior when you install Twisted by supplying the –install-lib parameter when running Twisted’s setup.py.
