nick i understand what you are trying to say but i still think such things should be documented here http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html#Skipping_Files
where the only thing said in the docs about the consequences of the skip_files configuration is: The skip_files element specifies which files in the application directory are not to be uploaded to App Engine. The value is either a regular expression, or a list of regular expressions. Any filename that matches any of the regular expression is omitted from the list of files to upload when the application is uploaded. this could avoid developers to spend hours to figure out whats wrong in their code. andreas On Nov 9, 2011, at 7:46 PM, Nick Johnson wrote: > On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 2:53 AM, andreas schmid <a.schmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > i know its not an issue but what is the reason for blocking access to local > files? > in my case i have a dev environment and whats going to be deployed and i > don't see the reason why i have to deploy those files too or switch back and > forth in the skip_files section. > > no docs say that adding stuff to the skip_files section will affect access to > those files. > > The dev_appserver attempts to emulate the production environment as closely > as possible. skipped files aren't available in production, so it makes them > unavailable in dev.
