[google-appengine] Re: Upload Post image app engine

2008-09-10 Thread rive

My apologies for that Davide,

this is the corrected one 
http://code.google.com/p/rive/source/browse/trunk/RivePython/rive/src/server/main.py

Now I don't get any errors, thanks for helping in that. But that's
also it...I don't get any response at all?

From my flash client I do a filereference upload of a countries flag
image
- don't get security errors
- don't get file IO errors
- don't get any other error, eveything works correct and I DO get a
full progress event

- But i do NOT get an UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event or an inserted row in
my datastorage at App Engine?

P.S.: The same client side filereference upload works fine to a
similar PHP script.

 Hi. Firstable say i'm absolutly new in python so maybe my question
 will seem a nooby question

 I´m writting a short application as a way to get used to python. I
 come from Java and I have installed Pydev plugin on my eclipse ide to
 make it easier for me to get used,

 But running applications with the google SDK make debugging a
 nightmare for me. Firstable I can´t put breakingpoints neither run the
 application in debug mode son I am using a selfmade class to output
 some intermediate and check results in html an so control my
 application flow. This way is of course not user friendly and I am
 spending a lot of time checking classes that otherwise with a
 breakpoint should be debugged in 5 minutes

 Can anybody give me an advice about debugging applications for google
 apps and ides to use. Thanks

Jan and I have discussed this already, but for the record and anyone
else who struggled with this (like me).

It seems you cannot have two duplicate prefixes, even if the complete
URLs are different.  Look on the Dashboard of your Google Domain for
an App in your that uses www as a prefix (like Google Web Pages) and
rename it to something else.

[google-appengine] Any (event the slightest) idea when free account limits will be lifted and we will be able to pay for storage etc?

2008-09-10 Thread Dado

Any (event the slightest) idea when free account limits will be lifted
and we will be able to pay for storage etc?

Some of us have been developing apps for GAE since the very beginning
and would like to launch them for real... without the current
limitations on storage, file uploads, etc. The limitations of the
preview release precludes the release of many apps that, for example,
need to store lot of binary content in data store.

[google-appengine] Re: Query filter based on the Longitude attribute of a db.GeoPt property

2008-09-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for the follow-up.

I guess one could still use the geotoken (my own term) idea, but
only save one token (map-graph-square) per saved point.  Then, when
someone searches on a given point, tokenize the search point, search
for anything that shares the same token, and then go back for for data
in the surrounding tokens.  In my example, that means 9 DB calls
instead of one, but that's pretty manageable...  I don't know how it
scales if you want to have greater variability in your search range,
but you could either define your tokens to cover more ground, or
increase the number of tokens searched.

Looking at the current quota limits, with 2.5 million datastore
requests per day, I could handle 200,000 searches per day (250,000 * 9
= 2.45 million), which leaves room for 50,000 posts per day (one
datastore operation per post), all under quota.  Once this turns into
a paid service, if I have to pay for more than that, I think I'll be
happy to do so.

 The exploding index issue can occur with list properties readily.

 Properties with multiple values, such as using a list value or a
 ListProperty model, store each value as a separate entry in an index.

 With a 9 element list you just created 9 indexes.  If you expand the
 box to get some more resolution such as the 13 box example, you will
 then have 13 indexes on that property alone.  You can see where this
 is going.  It gets compounded if you even 1 single other list element
 in your model.  If you had another list element with just 2 records
 you would have a total of 20 indexes (18 for the 2 lists and then 2
 for the basic indexing).

 This causes a number of issues.  The two you pointed out, updating and
 data storage.  Updating has to hit each and every index so updates
 would be a huge bottleneck if the model is updated often.  The other
 issue is (and correct me if I'm wrong on this anyone with more
 experience) is that because lists are stored as separate entities Big
 Table has to do multiple queries to return your result set.

 A bit of testing would probably be a good idea to see what the speed
 is.  If you have a small dataset, you definitely won't have an issue.

[google-appengine] Lots of Datastore timeouts today - what keeps causing these?

2008-09-10 Thread Alex Epshteyn

A more general question first: my app has been experiencing more than
20 datastore write timeouts per day on average with an average of
approx. 30K daily data write requests.  I understand that it's only a
0.07% failure rate, but that's still too high for my liking.  Some of
my users' data has already been corrupted because my code didn't
foresee every possible fault scenario.  I've been spending lots of
time trying to make my code and data bulletproof over the past month
but it's an uphill battle.

I'd like to know more about the cause of these mysterious failures.
They mostly happen on data writes (in my case on Entity.save and
Entity.get_or_insert), but sometimes also reads (in
Entity.get_by_key_name).  Could they be recovered if App Engine
allowed waiting longer than 4000 ms?  Or is it fatal when you've
already waited this long? (when the same request succeeds, it does so
under 200ms)

It would be really awesome if App Engine could provide more fault-
tolerance.  Perhaps App Engine could time out these things sooner and
do a couple of retries automatically before throwing an exception?
It's too late for the handler code to trap these exception and retry,
right?

It's pretty frustrating seeing my logs filled with these errors and
have to keep worrying about the affected users.


Now regarding today:  almost a hundred datastore timeouts between 9:30
and 9:41 am.

Relevant stack trace:

  File /base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/db/
__init__.py, line 618, in put

[google-appengine] Can't create application

2008-09-10 Thread Shidan

I signed up for an account a while ago and did the sms verification.
Now when I log in it asks to verify again using sms but now it won't
let me, says I have already authenticated with this phone number or
something to this effect.

How do I go about creating an app now and why is it asking me to re-
authenticate with sms when it has already done it before? It obviously
knows it has since it is telling me this number has been used for
authentication before.

[google-appengine] Re: Query against EnitiyGroup that returns a list of Objects of various kinds/types? (Factory Pattern)

2008-09-10 Thread Jeff S (Google)

Hi Thomas,

Your observation is correct, each query can only retrieve entities of
a single kind at the moment, so you would need to perform a separate
query for each subclass. Your solution of using just the one Base
class with additional properties sounds like a very reasonable
solution.

Happy coding,

Jeff

On Sep 8, 11:49 am, Cat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I am using a factory pattern to model my data. Creating the data is
 simple. Retrieving it is hard.

 class Owner()
 class Base(db.Model)
      group = StringProperty(default=abc)
     @classmethod
     def factory(): ...
 class Sub1(Base)
 class Sub2(Base)

 Problem: I want to query for all classes with ancestor == owner (and
 group == 'abc').
 So to say run a query against a whole entity group. However it appears
 I can only retrieve a Kind/Class at a time?

 Base.all().ancestor(owner).fetch(100) will only return Base instances
 not Sub1 and Sub2
 Sub1.all().ancestor(owner).fetch(100) will only return Sub1s

 Question: Is there any query that could return mixed type lists?

 Some solutions I can think of is
 * to add a 1000 item ListProperty(RefereneProperty) to Owner ... needs
 to be filtered manually by group (slow?)
 * to use Base(Expando) with a type property instead using
 subclasses ... loose some prop checking

 Is there a better way to do that?

 Thanks,
 Thomas

[google-appengine] Re: Couldn't import gdata.calendar.service

2008-09-10 Thread Jeff S (Google)

Hi moparthi,

I thought of a few suggestions that might help. The first is that the
atom and gdata directories from the gdata-python-client/src directory
need to be included in the top level directory for your app. The gdata
library source code will needs to be uploaded as part of your app.
This is my first guess as to why the imports would fail.

Also, there is an additional line which you must add to your code to
tell the gdata library that HTTP requests should use the App Engine
urlfetch API (since the default for the gdata library uses raw socket
connections which are not allowed in App Engine). In the latest
version of the gdata-python-client (version 1.2.0) you would do this:

import gdata.alt.appengine
...
self.cal_client = gdata.calendar.service.CalendarService()
gdata.alt.appengine.run_on_appengine(self.cal_client)

Lastly, I noticed that you are using ClientLogin, which requires a
username and password, and these are being passed around in plaintext.
I strongly recommend that you switch to using AuthSub authorization
instead. I've written an article which explains how to use AuthSub
with App Engine which you can find here 
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/gdata.html

Let me know how it goes :)

[google-appengine] Re: Query filter based on the Longitude attribute of a db.GeoPt property

2008-09-10 Thread Nevin Freeman

Since starting this thread, I've come up with something slightly
similar to what you are suggesting here. Rather than store metadata
about both lat and lng, I store a ListProperty of lngs to differing
degrees of accuracy, and still use inequalities for latitude. So if
you have a point with Lat, Lng = 12.12345678, 40.12345678, my stored
lng-list property would look like: [40, 40.1, 40.12, 40.123]. This
way, based on zoom level (well, actually just based on the size of the
viewport, calculated when the query is run), I can query for all of
the strips of longitude within my viewport, and then still include a
minLat  lat  minLng. This results in a single query up front, but
multiple queries behind the scenes, since the viewport will have many
longitude strips and thus I will be comparing the lng-list to an array
of values. I decide how to divide up the viewport based on the
difference in longitude between either edge, and limit the number of
strips to 10 (using the larger strips in order to decrease the
number). Here is the code for encoding and generating the array for
the query:

import decimal
from decimal import Decimal as d
import logging

def LngList(lng):
  returns array of truncated lng strings
  lnglist = []
  lnglist.append(__truncate(lng, 0))
  lnglist.append(__truncate(lng, 1))
  lnglist.append(__truncate(lng, 2))
  lnglist.append(__truncate(lng, 3))
  return lnglist

def ViewportLngs(minLng, maxLng):
  returns array of lngs that exist in the viewport, with the right
degree of precision
  vislngs = []
  dif = abs(maxLng - minLng)
  if minLng  maxLng:
logging.info(minLng: %s maxLng: %s %(minLng, maxLng))
dif = (180 - minLng) + abs(-180 - maxLng)
if dif  .01:
  vislngs = __makelist(3, minLng, 180) + __makelist(3, -180,
maxLng)
elif dif  .1:
  vislngs = __makelist(2, minLng, 180) + __makelist(2, -180,
maxLng)
elif dif  1:
  vislngs = __makelist(1, minLng, 180) + __makelist(1, -180,
maxLng)
else:
  logging.error(Viewing both sides of the dateline, zoomed out.)
  elif dif  .01:
vislngs = __makelist(3, minLng, maxLng)
  elif dif  .1:
vislngs = __makelist(2, minLng, maxLng)
  elif dif  1:
vislngs = __makelist(1, minLng, maxLng)
  else:
# zoomed out case
logging.error(The LngList method is being used on a viewport with
a range larger than 1 degree.)
  return vislngs

def __makelist(level, minLng, maxLng):
  actually populates the list of longs, based on conditions passed
in, and accounts for extreme near-zero cases.
  inc = 10**-level
  lng = __truncate(minLng, level)
  maxL = __truncate(maxLng, level)
  vislngs = [lng]
  while lng != maxL:
if lng == 0:
  return __makelist(level + 1, minLng, maxLng)
lng = __truncate(float(lng)+inc, level)
vislngs.append(lng)
  return vislngs

def __truncate(num, prec):
  truncates the float passed in to _prec_ places after the decimal,
and returns it as a string
  result = unicode(d(str(num)).quantize(d(1e%d % (-prec)),
decimal.ROUND_DOWN))
  if result == u'-0.0':
result = u'0.0'
  if result == u'-0.00':
result == u'0.00'
  return result

This method seems to preform pretty well, though I don't yet have gobs
of data. I am able to run a query that returns 3-400 markers and load
them all up in less than a second. Unfortunately, this doesn't account
for Polylines and Polygons. We're still working on an elegant solution
for those, probably similar to your method of storing the grid-boxes
each one overlaps. Exploding indexes, here I come.

 I guess one could still use the geotoken (my own term) idea, but
 only save one token (map-graph-square) per saved point.  Then, when
 someone searches on a given point, tokenize the search point, search
 for anything that shares the same token, and then go back for for data
 in the surrounding tokens.  In my example, that means 9 DB calls
 instead of one, but that's pretty manageable...  I don't know how it
 scales if you want to have greater variability in your search range,
 but you could either define your tokens to cover more ground, or
 increase the number of tokens searched.

 Looking at the current quota limits, with 2.5 million datastore
 requests per day, I could handle 200,000 searches per day (250,000 * 9
 = 2.45 million), which leaves room for 50,000 posts per day (one
 datastore operation per post), all under quota.  Once this turns into
 a paid service, if I have to pay for more than that, I think I'll be
 happy to do so.

 A more general question first: my app has been experiencing more than
 20 datastore write timeouts per day on average with an average of
 approx. 30K daily data write requests.  I understand that it's only a
 0.07% failure rate, but that's still too high for my liking.  Some of
 my users' data has already been corrupted because my code didn't
 foresee every possible fault scenario.  I've been spending lots of
 time trying to make my code and data bulletproof over the past month
 but it's an uphill battle.

 I'd like to know more about the cause of these mysterious failures.
 They mostly happen on data writes (in my case on Entity.save and
 Entity.get_or_insert), but sometimes also reads (in
 Entity.get_by_key_name).  Could they be recovered if App Engine
 allowed waiting longer than 4000 ms?  Or is it fatal when you've
 already waited this long? (when the same request succeeds, it does so
 under 200ms)

 It would be really awesome if App Engine could provide more fault-
 tolerance.  Perhaps App Engine could time out these things sooner and
 do a couple of retries automatically before throwing an exception?
 It's too late for the handler code to trap these exception and retry,
 right?

 It's pretty frustrating seeing my logs filled with these errors and
 have to keep worrying about the affected users.


 Now regarding today:  almost a hundred datastore timeouts between 9:30
 and 9:41 am.

[google-appengine] Re: Hidden Security Risks through App Caching

2008-09-10 Thread Olli117

I think it's a feature of the python syntax that all instance
attributes have to be referenced by self. In Java you get the help
from eclipse to mark class variables (by writing them italic).
Otherwise it coud be difficult to recognize them, too.

I like this feature of python that you are forced to write all
instance variables of a class with self.variable. With an
unterstanding of oo programming should be no problem.

 In your code you manipulate the class, but what you want is to

 p = Page()
 p.message +=  world
 print p.message

 q = Page()

[google-appengine] How to I use xml.sax in google app engine??

Hi list,

I'm just playing with the google app engine. But can't seem to get the
xml.sax to work :-(

This is my code to read the xml:

def returnTasks(xmldata):
handler = TaskHandler()
xml.sax.parseString(xmldata,handler)
return handler.tasks

I read the xmldata from a url with googles url fetch.
It works from command line. But when I run it in the app engine, i get
a:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'unlink'

Why is this??

[google-appengine] Re: one-to-many (ReferenceProperty) and memory

2008-09-10 Thread Rosdi Kasim


From what I understang, GAE always 'SELECT *', there is no way we
could specify what property to select.
If it is true you got memory error that quickly, then either you have
tons of properties or there is a problem with GAE.
Anyone else experiencing memory error that quick?


On Sep 11, 10:04 am, GAEfan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 One major limitation of AppEngine is that you can only query the
 datastore with a

 'SELECT * FROM  myData'

 meaning you must put ALL properties of each entity into memory.  This
 gets you to a Memory error rather quickly, especially if you have many
 properties for each entity.  In my app, I can only query about 100
 entities at a time, nowhere near the expected 1000.

 I am trying to hack a form of

 'SELECT PropertyOne FROM  myData',

 to just put that single property into memory (of course through a
 broad range of many entities)

 I was wondering if I could save memory by using a one-to-many format,
 with ReferenceProperty.  For example, my entities are keyed by date,
 so I thought of trying something like this:

 class myDate(BaseModel):
         Date = db.DateProperty()

 class PropertyOne(BaseModel):
         Date = db.ReferenceProperty(myDate, collection_name='prop1_ref')
         Value = db.FloatProperty()

 ...
 etc. for each Property, each Ref'd to myDate.

 My first question is: If I call ''SELECT * FROM  myDate'', will it put
 all of the Referenced Properties into memory?  If so, that may kill
 this idea, too.

 Second, would this act like a way to query ONLY an individual
 property, along with its Date?  Something like ''SELECT * FROM
 PropertyOne'' ?  (using this method, there seems to be no reason to
 reference the Property to myDate, just make several distinct Models.
 But it would be great to tie them all to a single date when I pull
 multiple properties.)

 Thirdly, is there some other method of querying just a single
 property, like myDate.PropertyOne, through a broad range of Dates,
 without having to get all of the other properties crowding into
 memory?

 Hope that makes sense.  Thanks.

[google-appengine] Google Maps and Google App Engine

2008-09-10 Thread Owen

Please forgive me if this is answered elsewhere but searching did not
find an answer!

I'm building a webapp using Google App Engine and Google Maps.

My question is:  How do I use google maps with the google app engine
desktop development environment (the App Engine SDK)?

The issue is that the GAE SDK works on my laptop.  But the google maps
api uses a key bound to a domain.  So I don't see how I can have a
key bound to my localhost.  And worse, when I upload my GAE webapp,
my webapp will need a different key, right .. the one for the GAE
domain?

So I don't get it .. how can GAE and google maps interoperate? Seems
like it will be very awkward.

This is sort of unrelated, but if you take a look at some of the
sample apps out there (rietveld, gae-django-guestbook) they seem to
place the Forms into the views code. You could avoid the import
problem by doing this.

To address your problem in particular, do you have an __init.py__
inside your root level myapp directory? If you don't python won't be
able to import from within it.
