No, No.
If you need to use third party packages you must run from source.
Assuming you do it...
There are three places to put modules:
1) web2py/applications/XXX/modules
2) web2py/
3) The Python site-packages folder (that is where they go when
installed with easy_install)
1) should only be used for packages that are to be distributed with
apps. This does not work for all packages. In particular this does not
work if the package expects to be in 3)
2) that is where web2py system packages go. Please do not mess it up.
3) That is the proper way. This is what you would do with any Python
app and any other Python web framework.
Use easy_install to install the packages and they will go in site-
packages automatically. Then import it with
from GChartWrapper import *
This way the same package will be shared by all apps.
WARGINING: Never modify the os.path from the apps. This is not thread
safe.
