It depends on what you do.. Just installing with PIP or easy_install works.. Installing in web2py/site_packages and before starting web2py add site_packages to the python path also works.
But in web2py its self the site_packages is added to the path, but in that case installed packages are not (or not all of them) recognized. Difference is that in case you put a module in site-packages yourself you get a directory 'yourmodule' With easy_install / pip you get yourmodule.egg with yourmodule as a subdir.
