Python web service on Cloud9 IDE

gistfile1.txt

Hi,

First you'll need to get appengine into your project, you can do this from CLI or terminal:

wget http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.7.0.zip
unzip goo
rm google_appengine_1.7.0.zip

Or by dragging the unzipped appengine tools into Cloud9, if you're not premium.

Then create hello.py

print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
print 'Hello, world!'

And create app.yml

application: helloworld
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /.*
  script: helloworld.py


Now execute (in console):

python ./google_appengine/dev_appserver.py . -a $OPENSHIFT_INTERNAL_IP -p $PORT --skip_sdk_update_check

The server starts, but when you access: projectname.uname.c9.io it shows a stack trace. I don't really know that much about GAE, so maybe you can help me out here. I understand that it cannot access a package it likes (setuptools), which is correct because that folder isnt accesible. Do you know of any way to override the library path of Python? So I install it in the local directory with:

easy_install setuptools

(I now have a file in ~/lib/python/site-packages)

But Python seems to ignore me on this one. :-( Any idea?
