After too much frustration, I made a simple script for installation on
dreamhost, or likely most places (see below). It does not allow the
admin because it is not local (still figuring out how to change that
one--any ideas would be welcome).
run by
cd ~
python web2py.install.py
The code is below. If anyone can build on this to allow access to the
admin window it would be most appreciated!

code for web2py.install.py

subdomain="yourDomaiNname.com" ## <--CHANGE THIS
user="yourUserID" ## <-- CHANGE THIs
# should be something like web2py.mydomain.com where you have set up
the web2py subdomain from the
# dreamhost control pannel allowing rails (note: have to add public to
the directory to make this happen).
#
# note that it takes a few minutes for dreamhost to create the
domain..

os.system("mkdir bin") #if bin already exists, it won't over write

bash=open(".bash").read().split("\n")
