"You code below is correct, you just have to make sure the libraries are in the search path."
Right as always, Massimo is. However I did not feel comfortable flopping around in web2py.py. So after a little research I redicovered the python .pth file. I added a lxml.pth file to .../site-packages pointing to the proper subdirectory to be added to the pythonpath. It worked like a charm. Might be useful to someone. More information is available in the site.py file in python root dir.
