This one line test script confirms that Web100 is properly installed and that 
python can find the Web100 library:

python -c "import Web100; Web100.Web100Agent(); print('Success.')"

(From the NPAD/pathdiag instructions.)

This pretty much tests the entire Web100 "stack".  If is prints anything other
than success, start debugging.

Thanks,
