Hi,
Web2py imports modules from the site-packages directory which is a great
way to build a project withoud any 'external' dependencies.
Only it does not work with modules installed by python easy-install.
Python it's self uses a site module for this, which can be added to web2py
in an easy way.
Maybe this is a nice addition for the next version?
