Does GAE accept twill at all? - google-app-engine

I have created my GAE application in directory "my_application". Inside this directory I created a .py file and named it "my_scrypt".
The contents of "my_scrypt" in the beginning were as following:
print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
print 'This is my first application'
Then I ran it locally on my machine (Windows XP) in the installed browser (Mozilla FireFox) with "GAE Launcher" - everything was fine - I could see that sentence ("This is my first application") on the screen.
Then I deployed this application to GAE (again with the help of "GAE Launcher") - everything was fine again - I could see the same sentence on the screen.
Then I changed the contents of "my_scrypt" a bit:
from twill.commands import *
config('use_tidy', '0')
go ("http://us.yahoo.com/")
showlinks()
Downloaded "twill0.9" (from here), chose and copied "twill" folder from there, and pasted it in "my_application" directory.
When I ran this new application locally (with "GAE Launcher") everything was fine - I could see a list of yahoo.com links on the screen, but when I uploaded this application to GAE, I received only an error message.
Why is it so? I don't think it's because the version of mechanize being used by twill here is too old - the code in "my_script" is so simple, any version of mechanize must be able to handle it.
Does GAE accept twill (as an external module) at all?

Hello, Nick. I checked the admin console, so here is the stack trace:

Twill is trying to import 'subprocess'. This is a Python module for spawning threads, and it's not available on App Engine. You'll either need to see if you can persuade Twill to work without spawning processes (probably by modifying the code), or you'll need to use mechanize or simply urlfetch directly.

PyDev and Eclipse - ImportError No Module Named - after refreshing interpreter

I'm new to Eclipse and PyDev and have been stuck on this for while having had a look at quite a few answers to similar issues on here.
I'm trying to build a simple web app using PyDev, Eclipse, Python 2.7 and Flask (on Windows) and have followed this guide (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/getting-started/python-standard-env) which all worked fine.
I made some small changes, but am currently stuck on the first step where I am trying to import pandas in my script (main.py)
I'm getting this error from the debugger when I try to import pandas from in my script
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\runtime\wsgi.py", line 240, in Handle

import pandas as pd
ImportError: No module named pandas
I've checked in Preferences > Interpreters > Python Interpreter that C:\Python27\lib\site-packages has been added (where my pandas module sits). I've also tried removing and adding the interpreter again but to no avail.
Also, in the editor I can see that pandas isn't Unresolved, so it seems like it can 'see' it. And in the workspace, under the Python > System Libs > lib/site-packages that pandas is also there.
I'm a bit at a loss where else to check.
main.py looks like this, where I've just cut out as much as possible to try and make sure there wasn't anything else that affect the import:
import logging
from flask import Flask, render_template, request
import pandas as pd
app = Flask(__name__)
#app.route('/form')
def form():
return render_template('form.html')
#app.route('/submitted', methods=['POST'])
def submitted_form():
name = request.form['name']
pc1 = request.form['pc1']
pc2 = request.form['pc2']
pc3 = request.form['pc3']
return render_template(
'submitted_form.html',
name=name,
pc1=pc1,
pc2=pc2,
pc3=pc3)
#app.errorhandler(500)
def server_error(e):
# Log the error and stacktrace.
logging.exception('An error occurred during a request.')
return 'An internal error occurred.', 500
Thanks in advance for your help and let me know if I need to provide any more info .
I think the issue is that you're using google-app-engine, which limits what's allowed to run.
Can Pandas run on Google App Engine for Python? has information which may be useful.
The import error in particular is caused by improper installation of pandas in your application. See Using third-party libraries. From Installing a third-party library:
In order to use a third-party library, copy it into a folder in your
project's source directory. The library must be implemented as pure
Python code with no C extensions. The code is uploaded to App Engine
with your application code, and counts towards file quotas.
This quote also ties into the answer mentioned by Fabio, it's unlikely you'll get this working on the standard GAE environment.
It might work on the flex environment - less restrictions, but that's a significantly different beast.

Dependencies not installing from lib directory in google app engine

As far as I can tell, I have set up my flask app right. lib, containing all dependencies is at my root, and contains what Requirements.txt has in it. my appengine_config.py contains the below
print 'running app config yaya!'
from google.appengine.ext import vendor
import os
import sys
print os.path
print os.path.realpath
print os.path.realpath(__file__)
print os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'lib')
sys.path.insert(0,'./lib')
vendor.add('lib')
print 'I am the line after adding lib, it should have worked'
per all those print statements, nothing is erroring, but I am getting
No module named flask_sqlalchemy
after deploying and seeing a 500. What am I missing to get these suckers installed?

why would there be an underscore in the import attempt here? help?
tldr: use appengine_config.py and copy your virtualenv to a folder called lib, then make SURE you are running the app via dev_appserver.py
(the below is via bash in ubuntu) SO after a long battle, I find that virtual env and gcloud dont play nice -
I copied everything from my virtual env dir
.../.virtualenvs/nimble/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
into
[projectdir]/lib
and my appengine_config.py finally worked locally like it does in the cloud, but I absolutely HAVE to run
dev_appserver.py [my proj dir here]
or the google.appengine module wont load. did not know I should be using dev server. I feel very dumb.
for reference, heres the appengine_config.py

Fatal devappserver2 error: PYTHON_EGG_CACHE in Appengine 1.7.6 and 1.7.5 python 2.7, win7

I attempted to use Appengine SDK version 1.7.6 but was receiving fatal errors (same as outlined below) so reverted to 1.7.5, where my app works fine. However, the errors I saw in 1.7.6 recur when I attempt to run the experimental devappserver in 1.7.5. I am running Python 2.7 on a win 7 machine. Standard install selections for AppEngine.
These error messages refer to permissions relating to the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE, but...
- 1) They do not occur for the 'old' dev_appserver
- 2) The application can successfully extract files to the location noted. In fact, I changed the path of the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to another location, gave it wide open permissions, and still received the error.
- 3) I have pyyaml in my site-packages, so am not sure why it would need to do a temporary extract anyway.
Any help looking for a resolution to this would be appreciated, since I'll be forced to use the new devappserver in a couple of releases time.

If anyone comes along with the same issue, the resolution that worked for me was as follows:
Unzip the PyYAML-3.10-py2.7-win32.egg in your python27 site-packages
directory into a new directory within site-packages. You'll need to
unzip it to into a directory name like NEWPyYAML-3.10-py2.7-win32.egg
to avoid name conflicts.
Rename your original egg. to something else (e.g., OLDPyYAML-3.10-py2.7-win32.egg).
Rename your new directory to PyYAML-3.10-py2.7-win32.egg
All references to the egg will now actually point to a directory in your site-packages containing the unzipped python files. The new devappserver should be able to work with this.
Unsure how to unzip an egg in windows? See here (presuming you have Winzip or similar installed):

How can I access the appengine datastore using remote_api_shell on a windows machine?

I'm currently trying to access my app using remote_api_shell.py as documented in appengine at http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/remote_api.html. I am using python 27 in windows 7 and I am able to access the shell - I've remotely cleared the memcache for example. I am having trouble accessing the datastore with the error
no module found named <module name>
My directory stucture something like this
/app.yaml
/main.py
/users/models.py
In the windows shell I type the following (in accordance with the walkthrough at the above link)
C:\Users\user>remote_api_shell.py -s appname.appspot.com
App Engine remote_api shell

I've tried a few different iterations but just cannot seem to access any of my data. I've also tried to access another model in a directory /website/models.py but also no success. Any ideas on how to get this to work? cheers.
Try setting the module search path to include the directory where your app lives. This can either be done by setting the environment variable PYTHONPATH (though I've forgotten how to do this on Windows), or, inside your shell session, by appending to sys.path.
The reason is that the remote_api_shell script lives in a different directory than your app, so its directory gets added to the path instead of your app's directory, even if the latter is the current directory.
I guess you could also copy remote_api_shell.py into your app directory...
Obviously you can copy the models.py into remote_api_shell.py directory {:^)

App Engine python27 urlfetch error: "[Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed"

I'm trying to switch my app engine app from python 2.5 to 2.7 and urlfetch.fetch() just doesn't want to work (on the dev server at least; I haven't deployed it yet). If I do something as simple as:
file = urlfetch.fetch(url="http://www.google.com")
I get the following error:
File "C:\workspace\DjangoServer\src\mycode.py", line 167, in request
file = urlfetch.fetch(url="http://www.google.com")
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\urlfetch.py", line 264, in fetch

raise DownloadError(str(err))
DownloadError: ApplicationError: 2 [Errno 11003] getaddrinfo failed
Searching the internet has suggested it might be a firewall or proxy issue, but I turned off the firewall and I'm not behind a proxy.
This works fine in the python 2.5 dev server, but not the python 2.7 dev server. If I open a python 2.7 console and manually runsocket.getaddrinfo("www.google.com", 80) it works there as well.
Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?
Ok, I have been able to reproduce this issue and after a lot of going back and forth in git from a version that was working to a version that was not working I found that (at least in my case) the problem was in django-nonrel (because I updated all at once: django-nonrel and appengine).
So, please do the following: edit djangoappengine/settings_base.py and change
try:
from google.appengine.api import apiproxy_stub_map
except ImportError:
from .boot import setup_env
setup_env()
from djangoappengine.utils import on_production_server, have_appserver
to:
from djangoappengine.utils import on_production_server, have_appserver
if not on_production_server:
from .boot import setup_env
setup_env()
The real issue seems to be that in a previous version of django-nonrel, the import was actually written as: from google.appengine.api import api_proxy_stub_map (which was never found and the setup_env() was always called), so, when the import was fixed, the setup_env() was no longer called (which in my case made the error appear).
A 2nd note is that for some reason this was only happening when running inside of Eclipse/PyDev and it did work on the command line (although the environment variables seemed the same for me, so, I'm unsure why running from inside java actually made a difference).
