You could put a copy in web2py's site-packages, though it'd have to be the
right version for the environment (or at least a compatible version).
You could put it in your app's modules directory, and use local_import to get
it. Or something like this (I haven't checked the syntax; this is just the
general idea):
try:
import somemodule
except ImportError:
local_import('somemodule')
...so as to get the host's version if it's present, and your backup version if
not.
