GAE: raise ValueError('must be "yes" or "no", not %r' % values) - google-app-engine

Question

A popup on my desktop recently offered to update GoogleAppEngineLauncher, and I agreed to it.
My Python apps in PyCharm then showed "unrecognized reference" for "google" in from google.appengine.api import users or any other reference to "google.appengine.api".
So I launched GoogleAppEngineLauncher and clicked something, and it looked like it did an unzip or something. That made the PyCharm reference errors go away.
When I then tried to launch my app with my old configuration, it had a problem with "Additional options". Apparently it no longer recognizes "-p 8081" or "-c". So I changed them to "--port 8081" and "--clear_datastore". Now it terminates with the following stacktrace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried running "helloworld" in GoogleAppEngineLauncher and got the following in the LogConsole:
*** Running dev_appserver with the following flags:

This seems to be more or less the same error as from running my app in PyCharm.
I am under tremendous time pressure on this project, and this is completely blocking me. Any help will be most appreciated.

Answer 1

The solution to this problem was that configuration option -c has to be changed to --clear_datastore=yes.
Now I'm getting to another error, "InvalidCertificateException". I'll investigate that separately, and post a separate question if I can't solve it.
