I have
libraries:
- name: ssl
version: latest
In my app.yaml file
I print out
print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)
In my main.py file, which is a flask app. When I run main.py using python, the program prints out
'OpenSSL 1.1.0h 27 Mar 2018'
But when I run the app using dev_appserver.py, it prints out
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016
Why is it using an older version of open ssl? I think this is leading to this error that I get when I try to send a message using Twilio
TwilioRestException: HTTP 426 error: Unable to create record: Upgrade Required
I'm not sure, but I think the gcloud tools don't install any version of OpenSSL on your computer, and instead use the version of OpenSSL that is already there as part of your existing Python installation.
The version of OpenSSL used with dev_appserver.py thus wouldn't be the same one that is used in production.
The difference between main.py and dev_appserver.py is likely caused by different different path configurations. Those two versions of OpenSSL are somewhere on your computer and the path configuration picks up one versus the other.
Best way to check is to log the OpenSSL version in your production environment.
I started using Google App Engine today, so hopefully the answer will be obvious to someone with experience. After simply following this method to get App Engine interfacing with Cloud SQL, I'm having a frustrating issue: goapp deploy succeeds but goapp serve fails (using the cloud shell).
Here's the error:
XXXX#cloudshell:~/src/XXXX/app-engine (XXXX)$ goapp serve app.yaml

I'm suspicious that the version of go being used is wrong. The stated version is 1.6.3 but as I understand "context" requires 1.7. Here's the relevant cloud shell output for that:
XXXX#cloudshell:~ (XXX)$ goapp version
go version go1.6.3 (appengine-1.9.48) linux/amd64
XXXX#cloudshell:~ (XXX)$ go version
go version go1.10 linux/amd64
However, despite my best efforts I have been unable to find any resources on how to manipulate the "goapp" go version.
My app.yaml includes:
runtime: go
api_version: go1.8
And goapp get yields this:
XXXX#cloudshell:~/src/XXX/app-engine (XXX)$ goapp get
package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)
The go file itself is an exact copy of the demo from the linked above.
As confirmed on a comment on the question the solution was using dev_appserver.py, instead of goapp serve.
goapp is the old tool to handle GAE tasks. Now it's recommended to use dev_appserver.py for the local development, and gcloud app commands for tasks in the cloud (e.g. gcloud app deploy instead of goapp deploy).
Note that goapp is not deprecated, but dev_appserver.py provides more flexibility on local dev, while gcloud app uses the properly documented and quite useful App Engine Admin API (unlike the older tools), making debugging a lot easier in case something goes wrong with your deployment.
In Google App Engine, if you need to get a context, you should probably use google.golang.org/appengine.NewContext() for a context during an HTTP request, or google.golang.org/appengine.BackgroundContext() if it's outside a request. Both return context.Context, which is the same that you would get by creating a context through the context package, but with a context prepared to be used within GAE.
This does not tell you why the imports are not working (other than goapp looks to be using 1.6), but will just work around the issue avoiding you to import any context package.
I'm trying to run pycrypto (2.6) on google app engine (1.9.32) with python 2.7 on windows 10.
I've added the following to my app.yaml:
libraries:
- name: pycrypto
version: "2.6"
and added the following config:
import os
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/tmp'
But I'm still getting the following error:
The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:
/tmp
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?
You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.
pycrypto works fine on windows 10 in python command line. The problem is just in the Google app engine.
How is it possible to work around this?
2 side notes:
The phenomenon is known as the Python egg error.
Windows 10 folder locking in read-only is documented. No solutions seemed to work so far.
I'm running a local development copy of Google AppEngine PHP SDK v1.8.0, with PHP v5.4.3 and Python v2.7, all under Windows 7 64bit.
I have followed instructions from a number of posts both here and elsewhere in order to register Python with my OS and to properly install the Python PIL module.
The last post I found here Unable to find the Python PIL library.Google App Engine. I have therefore added :
libraries:
- name: PIL
version: 1.1.7
to app.yaml.
I now receive the error quoted in the title of this post. If anyone can advise, I would be grateful.
Thankyou.
I think what #Tim was trying to say is that you should change your app.yaml to say "runtime: python27" instead of "runtime: php" since, as the error suggests, the PIL library is only supported by python27, not php.
Background
"In the Python runtime, we've added support for the Python SSL
Library, so you can now open secure connections to remote services
such as Apple's Push Notification service."
This quote is taken from a recent post on the Google App Engine blog.
Implementation
If you want to use native python ssl, you must enable it using the libraries configuration in your application's app.yaml file where you specify the library name "ssl" . . .
These instructions are provided for developers through the Google App Engine documentation.
The following lines have been added to the app.yaml file:
libraries:
- name: ssl
version: latest
This much is in line with the advice provided through the Google App Engine documentation.
Problem
I have tried running my project in three different configurations. Two are working, and one is not.
Working ...
After I upload my application to Google App Engine, and run my project through the live server, everything works fine.
Working ...
When I run my project with manage.py runserver and include the Google App Engine SKD in my PYTHONPATH, everything works fine.
Not Working ...
However, when I run my project with dev_appserver.py, I get the following error:

For the current GAE version (1.8.0 at least until 1.8.3), if you want to be able to debug SSL connections in your development environment, you will need to tweak a little bit the gae sandbox:
add "_ssl" and "_socket" keys to the dictionary _WHITE_LIST_C_MODULES in /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/python/sandbox.py
Replace the socket.py file provided by google in /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/dis27 from the socket.py file from your Python framework.
IMPORTANT: Tweaking the sandbox environment might end up with functionality working on your local machine but not in production (for example, GAE only supports outbound sockets in production). I will recommend you to restore your sandbox when you are done developing that specific part of your app.
The solution by jmg works, but instead of changing the sdk files, you could monkey patch the relevant modules.
Just put something like this on the beginning of your project setup.
# Just taking flask as an example
app = Flask('myapp')
if environment == 'DEV':
import sys
from google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.python import sandbox
sandbox._WHITE_LIST_C_MODULES += ['_ssl', '_socket']
from lib import copy_of_stdlib_socket.py as patched_socket
sys.modules['socket'] = patched_socket
socket = patched_socket
I had to use a slightly different approach to get this working in CircleCI (unsure what peculiarity about their venv config caused this):
appengine_config.py
import os
if os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE', '').startswith('Development'):
import imp
import os.path
import inspect
from google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.python import sandbox
sandbox._WHITE_LIST_C_MODULES += ['_ssl', '_socket']
# Use the system socket.
real_os_src_path = os.path.realpath(inspect.getsourcefile(os))
psocket = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(real_os_src_path), 'socket.py')
imp.load_source('socket', psocket)
I had this problem because I wasn't vendoring ssl in my app.yaml file. I know the OP did that, but for those landing here for the OP's error, it's worth making sure lines like the following are in your app.yaml file:
libraries:
- name: ssl
version: latest
Stumbled upon this thread trying to work with Apples Push notification service and appengine... I was able to get this working without any monkey patching, by adding the SSL library in my app.yaml, as recommended in the official docs, hope that helps someone else :)
I added the code to appengine_config.py as listed by Spain Train, but had to also add the following code as well to get this to work:
phttplib = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(real_os_src_path), 'httplib.py')
imp.load_source('httplib', phttplib)
You can test if ssl is available at your local system by opening a python shell and typing import ssl. If no error appears then the problem is something else, otherwise you don't have the relevant libraries installed on your system. If you are using a Linux operating system try sudo apt-get install openssl openssl-devel or the relevant instructions for your operating system to install them locally. If you are using windows, these are the instructions.
