If you've got Python installed on your Windows machine, then you might as well run the web2py source version instead of the Windows binary. It's just as easy to install and run (just unzip, and run by double clicking web2py.py instead of web2py.exe, or enter 'python web2py.py' at a command line). Then you'll be able to take advantage of your own Python installation and any packages you have installed with it. > I simply do not have the time to deal with compiling C source.

I don't think there's anything web2py can do to speed up a pure Python library or make it easier to install a C-based library. Anthony
