Joe, just checked.  Unfortunately, web.py still doesn't work - although admitedly it's an unusually named package:

Note that I don't actually use the EasyInstall provider because it doesn't support local files.  For our setup, we maintain all of our packages in an S3 bucket, download and install them.  So I've resorted to using an Execute resource to install python packages and touch a file when each is successful for idempotence.  I would prefer to use the EasyInstall provider if it supported local files as its idempotence check is more robust (except for web.py, of course :) ).
