FYI: Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal says bye bye to Python 2. Take note if you run web2py and intend to use 12.10. I am not sure if there are ways to get Python 2 installed though.
"For 12.10, we intend to ship only Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2. Beta-1 continues this process." https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Python_3.0 --
