If you're using the trunk, yes, that should work fine. I generally use the last stable release for my application development unless I have a real need for something in the trunk. So I download the stable web2py source, and then use scripts/update-web2py.sh from time to time to grab the latest stable version. Also (and this isn't especially critical), my application source lives elsewhere on my system. I create a soft link from web2py/applications/myapp to the real myapp. (This is on OS X; the same will work on Linux; don't know about Windows.)
