Yarko, Read your reply to Xie. I come to realize the situation I am experiencing is a little different. lxml is loaded as a package not a module. There is a python egg directory
.../site-packages/lxml-2.2.2-py2.5-linux-686.egg/... contained in that directory is .../lxml/__init__.py. There is no lxml.py module to load. Now checking sys.path it reports the /site- package/...egg directory is in the path. Interestingly, if I load up the controller .py file in ipython the lxml import works and lxml functions properly. I have only dug into a few of the Web2Py internals so I am somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed.
