RuntimeError: No driver of supported ones ('pymongo',) is available

import pymongo

works fine from the python shell.

However, I'm getting this error

<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> Failure to connect, tried 5 times: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 457, in __init__ self._adapter = adapter(**kwargs) File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/__init__.py", line 39, in __call__ obj = super(AdapterMeta, cls).__call__(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 50, in __init__ self.find_driver() File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/mongo.py", line 29, in find_driver super(Mongo, self).find_driver() File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 101, in find_driver str(self.drivers)) RuntimeError: No driver of supported ones ('pymongo',) is available

I've installed pymongo via pip locally, in site-packages, in addition to globally, any other ideas why python sees the package, but web2py (pydal) can't?
