You might try adding your modules directory to sys.path. Something like this:
from gluon.fileutils import abspath
path = abspath('applications', request.application, 'modules')
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
import_local has explicit knowledge of the modules directory, so it doesn't
need sys.path. But the import statements in gdata don't.
Alternatively, put gdata and atom in <web2py>/site-packages/, which is already
in sys.path.
