I'm as newbie as newbie can get. I'm trying to start a django project on appengine, but couldn't seem to get the devel environment set up on my mac -- of course, after sleeping on it and while composing this email it is now working! I wonder if my problems related to having just done the most basic tutorial and having dev_appserver.py running in a different terminal.
Here are my notes anyway. ENV: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Pre-installed Python 2.5.1 + easy_install: Imaging (PIL) , django Google AppEngine SDK 1.1.9 I understand there is two ways to get django working: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/ and http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/ As the first seems to be Google blessed/supported. I'm trying to use it. First looking at http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/source/browse/trunk/README "You can download the latest released version of the helper from the Google Code project at: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django"; should probably be removed for now, as the only version currently is appengine_helper_for_django-r52.zip and it is trivially broken (missing antlr3 include) and pretty raw. So, I thought I would try the most recent all around. svn co http://google-app-engine-django.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ appengine_helper_for_django which gave r74 Reading http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django10_zipimport.html , I'm lead to believe that with appengine SDK 1.1.9 that "archive containing all of Django should work and can made using: 'zip -r django.zip django' Which leaves me with: $ ls -lh django.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 lloyd staff 3.6M 11 Feb 10:09 django.zip $ md5 django.zip MD5 (django.zip) = 94a089c6264967260bc082291fcc62a7 So I'm now reading http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/appengine_helper_for_django.html "On Linux or Mac OS you can use a command like the following to achieve this" which somewhat contradicts the ReadMe "If you have installed the Google App Engine SDK using the Windows or MacOS installers provided by Google you may skip this step." $ ln -s /usr/local/google_appengine .google_appengine $ python manage.py runserver Joy!
