Re: [web2py] Best practice for including python libraries with my app
I use site-packages directory to put external libraries. Because, I tried gdata (google data ) library to put in app modules folder. But it breaks on import, because, gdata module has no knowledge of local_import() and since they try to do imports with usual way, it'll break. So, for complex libraries I suggest to put it in site-packages directory. Make not of server version of python is supported by library you put in.
[web2py] Best practice for including python libraries with my app
I am using tabular http://www.parsemydata.com/tabular (which requires numpy), as well as psycopg2 and a number of other libraries. The default location for such things is one of the local site-packages directories, which of course, doesn't migrate to another machine automagically.

Put your libraries under app/modules an use local_import() Bruno Rocha http://about.me/rochacbruno/bio 2011/1/13 Lorin Rivers lriv...@mosasaur.com That's exactly the kind of user experience I want to avoid.

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.
