I don't understand the 'local_import' in this line

pygal = local_import('pygal')

Can't find it in the documentation for web2py, pygal or searching python local_import...

but pygal works for me using just...

import pygal

local_import was deprecated after the web2py custom importer was created. It was used as a way to load modules local to the application and allow auto-reloading in development. It still works but is no longer necessary or recommended.
