I'll explain briefly how you start a new project and there's a nice clean copy of the code at the bottom that you can cut and paste.
Let's get the show on the road. Choose a name for the project and create and switch to a virtual environment:
PROJ=gae_project
mkvirtualenv ${PROJ}
cdvirtualenv
Note that note that "--no-site-packages" and "--distribute" are now the defaults for mkvirtualenv. You don't even need to use "--python=python2.7" on Ubuntu 12.10.
Now we need to know what the latest version of App Engine is, but as of writing it's 1.7.4:
GAE=1.7.4 wget -O /tmp/gae.zip http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_${GAE}.zip unzip /tmp/gae.zipNow let's create an App Engine app. The app will need a name that has been created in the App Engine Console:
GAE_APP_NAME=dummy mkdir -p gae_app/staticNow create the app.yaml file:
echo """application: ${GAE_APP_NAME}
version: development
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true
default_expiration: 7d
handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static
- url: .*
script: wsgi_app.app
""" > gae_app/app.yamlAnd finally the app itself:
echo """import webapp2
class MainPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
self.response.out.write('Please replace me with a decent WSGI App Framework such as Flask')
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage)],
debug=True)
""" > gae_app/wsgi_app.py
python ./google_appengine/dev_appserver.py gae_app/I hope that this has all been of some help to you. Did I miss anything? Please comment below.
