Here is a rough working outline of what the future pip web2py "installer"
could do. The one that is currently called web2py basically installs glueon
to site-packages which is great if you want to import Web2py stuff, like say
DAL functionality into another Python application but it is not what someone
checking out Web2py would be expecting if they are looking for the Web2py
GUI
This draft should work from the terminal on most nix systems. Works fine on
OS X and should be fine on Ubuntu and others as well. Any feedback on
layouts and so on and so forth would be great. It should not "conflict" with
the current bash installer in the Web2py/scripts directory as it will
install to ${HOME}/V_ENV/Web2py rather than ${HOME}/Web2py (on nix systems).
Hopefully we can make it OS agnostic since it could be all Python...

Let me know what you think. I am going to republish this using the subject
"new pip installer proposal"
