There is some misunderstanding here... what do you mean "bundled python"?? Looking at the paths you posted earlier, I'd say you're on linux and likely using Ubuntu. There is no python bundled with the source version of web2py, you are using python that's installed on your OS.
Please, let's start at the beginning: - which OS are you using, post an exact version - run 'which python' in shell and post the result - run 'python --version' in shell and post the result - type 'python' so that you get into python shell and try running 'import ast', post the error if you get one (use exit() to get out of python shell when you're done) - please post the exact command you use to start web2py.
