Install packages needed to build Python, and MySQL

yum install gcc gcc-c++ zlib-devel mysql subversion

Build python 2.5

cd /usr/local/src
    wget .../Python2.5.4.tgz
    expand, configure, make, make install

Get Python setuptools to aid in getting Python modules

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
    # PATH must be such that local Python found as python, then...
    sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg

Get Python modules needed by web2py

easy_install hashlib
    easy_install pysqlite
    easy_install mysql-python

Get web2py source

cd /usr/local/src
    svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py

Profit!

python2.5 web2py/web2py.py

Note
----

The above installs several Python modules as eggs.  At runtime python uses a cache to expand those eggs.  That cache directory must be readable by the web2py process, and writable too if the eggs haven't yet been expanded; otherwise web2py may fail to import the MySQLdb module in particular.
