Google App Engine is excellent technology but there is a gap.
If you are missing
- use of pip with Google App Engine,
- cooperation of appengine and virtualenv,
- possibility to add any module to your python path,
then this barebone could be at least an inspiration for you.
> workon <myvirtualenv> > pip install gap > gap start-project <applicationid> > cd <applicationid> > appcfg update src
- Install Google Appengine SDK
- Create a virtualenv for you project
- if necessary
easy_install pip
- run
pip install gap
- Go to directory where you want to create your GAE project.
- run
gap start-project <projectname>
# <projectname> will be used as applicationId - Add your dependencies to requirements.gip (format is the same as pip
requirements file) and
run
bin/gip install -r requirements.gip
- or install any packages using bin/gip same way as you are used to do it with pip.
- To create a new module in your application run
gap start-app <module_name>
- Libraries installed using gip are accessible in dev_server as well as on GAE servers.
See Gap documentation on github for more informations.
