#Wget google app engine sdk for python install#

As you can see it accepts settings module and load it to app instance. Nothing special - simple app factory module. For now we must have such file-structure : With my folders structure, site-packages for current virtual environment are in ~/virtual/gae_flask/lib/python2.7/site-packages. Also we need to copy our installed libs from site-packages folder in our working dir. Lets create app.py file inside of gae_flask_app package. So, as GAE can launch WSGI app we need to provide it. So let's create separate package for it and calll it gae_flask_app in our root working dir. This package will contain all application business logic, views, models e. More about threadsafe option hereīefore we will write some logic for main.py script i must point that our flask app will be running almost independently of GAE platform as simple WSGI application. This file points to start script, static folder, keeps some info about name and version of app, python and api version. After installing Flask your environment must be ready for development.

Later we will copy all installed packages from virtualenv's default install folder to our working dir. $ virtualenv gae_flask -python=python2.7. Just go to dir with your's virtual environments(if you don't have - mkdir ~/virt) and initialize new virtual environment:

So let's create virtualenv with python2.7. If you are not familiar with virtualenv i suggest you to read about it in my previous article about Flask here . I prefer to use virtualenv, and install packages via pip, but you may install them directly in your working folder by wget, simple copying or something else. The second step is installing Flask and it's dependencies.

Create two empty files app.yaml and main.py inside your working dir. After you have setup GAE sdk, and added sdk folder to your $PATH varriable you must be able to launch scripts dev_appserver.py and appcfg.py from GAE sdk in your working dir. At first create empty working dir for project.
