Despite being a CompSci graduate, I am a Newbie to Python, and must say that I found the documentation for setting up RasPiConnect (App and Server) extremely confusing, and not at all helpful. You made assumptions that weren't necessarily true. e.g. easy_install does not come as standard with Python, and it took a lot of digging to find where to get it! (other Newbies please note)
Furthermore, if Web.py is essential, why was it not packaged with rest of the software, along with the other libraries needed, as mentioned by IronDiver? It is only thanks to his comments that I got past the error messages!
That aside, I have two questions:
1. When I start RasPiConnectServer, using 'sudo python RasPiConnectServer.py', I get no error message now, but the only response I get is for the RaspberryPi screen to display 'http://0.0.0.0:9600/'.
Is this correct?, if so, why is it showing this IP address, and not the one I set up in Config.py? (192.168.1.89)
2. When I entered 'http://192.168.1.89:9600/version' - I get the response 'None' on my PC's Browser, and RaspberryPi screen displays:
'192.168.1.87:60362 - - [13/Jul/2013 11:28:03] "HTTP/1.1 GET /version" - 405 Method Not Allowed!' - so App and Server must be communicating to generate this message!
Again documentation doesn't say what to do if one gets an incorrect response like 'None'
Your help would be appreciated.

PS Spotted I had entered 'version' instead of 'Version', my typo. So ignore 2nd part of question, as I am now getting correct response!
