I sent this to Jason, what is wrong with this approach?
At least he will have the minimal web2py instalation ready in little time...

Hi, Jason,

  I have the Dreamhost account, also. I feel that installing and
deploying web2py here is not an easy task. Let us see, what works for
me as for now.

 I am not installing my own Python copy, use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.
All i did, is here (assuming You are in home directory):


mkdir bin

in .bash_profile add:
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
(You will have python and another executables in ~/bin)

You need to:

source .bash_profile
(or logout and login again).

get http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.3.3.tar.gz
tar xzf virtualenv-1.3.3.tar.gz


python2.5 virtualenv-1.3.3/virtualenv.py $HOME
(THIS python2.5 should be system python executable, i. e. /usr/bin/python2.5)
rm -fr virtualenv-1.3.3

easy_install virtualenvwrapper

mkdir .virtualenvs
(in this directory You will keep all virtual environments)

in .bash_profile add:
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source $HOME/bin/virtualenvwrapper_bashrc
-----------------------------------------------------------

easy_install Flup
(this will call $HOME/bin/easy_install with Your python, $HOME/bin/python)

mkvirtualenv web2py


workon web2py
( You will see the changed prompt:  (web2py)[capone]$ in my case)
(jumping out of virtualenv is done by deactivate, if You need that)

wget http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip

cdsitepackages

(it is equivalent to cd .virtualenvs/web2py/lib/python2.5/site-packages)
unzip  ~/web2py_src.zip

python web2py.py -i 67.205.29.115 -p 8080
(this is the ip of my domain; the default port 8000 was
unavailable, thus I choose another)

and use webbrowser:

http://yourIP:8080

Of course, You do not have administrative interface, see the wiki page
You mentioned...
If You get any further, I will be glad to hear from You :-)

Michal
