We'll have a look at installing those. We can't give time estimate because it will depend on how those libraries interact with our environment.

Can I install these myself into my installs?

Unfortunately not -- you can install Python packages using pip, but we don't support using apt-get or similar stuff right now.

Ok no worries, do you know of anything similar to http://dryscrape.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html that you do currently support?

Hmmm. You could use Selenium, Xvfb and Firefox. This blog post should help.
