Well, YMMV and I wasn't very thorough about testing lots of stuff, but pip just worked for me. $ virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute web2py.py27.venv ... $ source web2py.py27.venv/bin/activate $ pip install web2py ... $ w2p_run --run_system_tests ... test_md5_hash (gluon.tests.test_utils.TestUtils) Tests the md5_hash function ... ok testEqualWrite (gluon.tests.test_template.TestVirtualFields) test generation of response.write from = ... ok testRun (gluon.tests.test_template.TestVirtualFields) ... ok ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 118 tests in 1.620s OK That said, using the web2py source from a download is totally fine too. I don't think that you even have to copy it into the virtualenv. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
