Hey Nick, I'm glad you were able to get the App Engine SDK for Python up and running. While it is possible to install the SDK using *pip*, it is definitely not recommended. There are currently 2 supported methods for using the GAE SDK for Python
1. Download the Cloud SDK <https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/#linux> and install the *app-engine-python* component. This can be done with gcloud components install app-engine-python 2. Install the original App Engine SDK <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/download> for Python whose link is towards the bottom of the page. The preferred method is using the Cloud SDK. You can continue to use pip but please know that as it is not an officially supported method of acquiring the SDK, it may fall out of sync with the official releases and eventually not work as expected.
