Yes, I was using the web2py binary. I have since opted to run from source and it works with one stipulation:
Your instructions say to run from source use python2.5. lxml is installed in 2.6 on my machine. Running from source with python rather than python2.5 seems to be fine and the module not found error went away. Is it ok to run web2py with python 2.6 or am I likely to encounter problems down the road? Thanks for your help.
