[web2py] Setup web2py in virtualenv

[mrtn]

I have installed virtualenv and setup an environment for a web2py project. 
I came across a post before where people say you can use pip to install 
web2py, but it is still experimental and possibly not working well. I 
wonder if I can just copy the whole web2py source folder to somewhere 
(/bin, or, /lib) inside the environment directory, and run python 
web2py.pyevery time there? Would that work?
