"installed" in python barely means "put in a std dir, append that dir to the sys.path". web2py will be eventually re-integrated with pipy, in order to be able to do "pip install web2py" and have it working just fine, but as of right now you can just download the zip and run it from wherever it is: no performance penalties at all. BTW: any standard with no-dependencies package in python can be downloaded as source and be run as a standalone without having to install it.
