I am using Web2PY version 2.14.6 on a Mac OS X. I have installed jsonrpc and pyeapi modules using pip and they are located in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ folder. I can use import os without any issues but when I try to import jsonrpc or pyeapi, it gives the error that it cannot import the module. I can run command line code and import the modules, so not a permissions thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like you are using the OSX binary web2py, which includes its own Python interpreter and doesn't see anything in your system installation of Python. Instead, just use the source version of web2py -- binary is only needed if you don't have Python installed.
