Well, the setup.py can be fixed to also install web2py.py, or the
web2py.py can be installed by Buildroot separately, using a post
install hook.

Well, if the Python modules of web2py get installed by the setup.py
script, they are installed in /usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages/.
And clearly, we do not want to directory to be owned by www-data.
