Alexander, Thank you so much for pointing me towards the logging module. It has been a great help, although not in solving the issue mentioned here. I was not getting any errors in the appengine logs, as my issue was due to malformed strings in app.yaml. Apparently the dev_appserver isn't as sensitive as the live server, so it was functioning without complaint, and then DOA in live.
Anyhow, I still think that it's very inconvenient that the logs in the appengine admin view don't display anything for malformed app.yaml. Again, thanks for the tip on logging :) Killarny On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 12:45 AM, Alexander Kojevnikov < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You should also see the exception info in the log if it wasn't handled > at all. > > On Aug 28, 3:58 pm, Alexander Kojevnikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Do you use the logging module? > http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/logging.html > > > > You can try/except your code like this: > > > > try: > > code_that_can_fail() > > except: > > logging.error('your_message', exc_info=sys.exc_info()) > > > > You will then see the full exception information, including the stack > > trace in the admin console / logs. > > > > On Aug 28, 2:31 pm, Killarny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > It is very frustrating that the dev_appserver will validate and run > > > code that does not run on the live server.
