Google App Engine project bootstrap

Project description

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.

How to use (fill) the gap?

Short version

> workon <myvirtualenv>
> pip install gap
> gap start-project <applicationid>
> cd <applicationid>
> appcfg update src

Long version

  1. Install Google Appengine SDK

  2. Create a virtualenv for you project

  3. if necessary easy_install pip

  4. run pip install gap

  5. Go to directory where you want to create your GAE project.

  6. run gap start-project <projectname> # <projectname> will be used as applicationId

  7. Add your dependencies to requirements.gip (format is the same as pip requirements file) and run bin/gip install -r requirements.gip

  8. or install any packages using bin/gip same way as you are used to do it with pip.

  9. To create a new module in your application run gap start-app <module_name>

  10. Libraries installed using gip are accessible in dev_server as well as on GAE servers.

See Gap documentation on github for more informations.

Any ideas, thoughts, fixes (specially corrections of my English :) are welcome!
