webkitpy should not necessarily autoinstall every module needed by every script.  It should autoinstall only modules as they are needed.

This is the corresponding FIXME in the code:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitpy/thirdparty/__init__.py?rev=59350#L39

Fixing this probably means adding a custom import hook like the old autoinstall module.  That should let us globally detect whenever an autoinstallable module is being imported from.
