Sorry for the very late reply... I've also needed a number of 3rd party modules for my application and what I did is to run web2py through a shell script... for example, in Windows...
set python_directory=c:\Python25 python ez_setup.py if errorlevel 1 goto setpath if errorlevel 0 goto check_python_modules :setpath set PATH=%PATH%;%python_directory%;%python_directory%/Scripts python ez_setup.py goto check_python_modules :check_python_modules easy_install "biopython==1.49" goto run_web2py :run_web2py python web2py.py --ip=localhost --port=8000 --password=admin works well....
