[google-appengine] Re: How to access normal files in google App engine
Hi Vaswani, to my knowledge file IO isn't provided in appEngine cause file IO doesn't work on a distributed database with high scalability. So probalby you have to use Google datastore instead of your text file. It's not that difficult.

Hi You can read files but they must be in you appengine application directory or a subdirectory. of it and then uploaded when you deploy You can't chmod and there is no need to. Also these files shouldn't be accessible through the static files directive in app.yaml (I believe) T On Apr 10, 12:49 pm, Vaswani wrote: > Hi, > > I am a developing a web application which has no database but instead > uses some text files(.txt) as a data store.

[google-appengine] Re: How to access normal files in google App engine
Hi TIm and Konrad, Thanks for your reply. Ok, Here is the problem in a bit more detail. When I have a single (or more) text file/s in my application directory, appcfg.py uploads the files but if I have a folder inside my application directory it ignores that folder while updating unless I have specified it at static_dir in app.yaml. So my question is How can we upload a directory without specifying it in the app.yaml.

[google-appengine] Re: How to access normal files in google App engine
Hi In my apps I have heaps of templates in a folder, and don't need to specify anything to get them uploaded. (You will note the same with any django based app - mines not) How do you know it is being ignored ? How do you plan to access them (as templates ?) once they are uploaded > Do these text files have strange extensions on them ? As long as they are in the app folder or subfolder they will get uploaded (sames as any python code, zcml, etc,..)

How could you know, that's my key question too, as to my knowledge there is no way to `see` what's uploaded. When uploading my experience is you either get an error message or everything in the root and its subfolders is uploaded, at least `not uploaded data' never happened to me. Programmig for a high scalable distributed network is just diffrerent. Some simple tasks, taken for granted on a single machine, just don't work there. It`s impossible to have a look on all your uploaded folders for example. So working with appEngine you better try not to transfer existing concepts but to build on small steps. Break up your program into small steps and try each step on its own. If it's working on appEngine OK, if not read appEngine docs and google for a working solution to reach your target. To be more specific you need to copy code and error messages related to your problem.

[google-appengine] Re: How to access normal files in google App engine
Hi Tim and Konrad, I understand that the ideal way to work with data is to use google data storage. But given some data constraints on my side for now, I have postponed the usage of data storage by a month. I retract my earlier statement that 'appcfg.py update' ignores some files. I probably didn't see the entire noisy messages. The files were getting uploaded but I was not allowed to access them through my script. Its actually strange if I had a small file in the application directory, I was able to access it but if I had folder (with my data files) in the application directory, the permission was denied. Anyway, I need to understand the idiosyncrasies of distributed data network in more detail. But for now I have found a not so sweet solution. I have converted each of my data files into python objects and put in individual small size files (.py) and importing them on demand. It works sweetly now but definitely not a scalable solution. But is there a ways to delete the stuff you uploaded before which you don't need anymore.

[google-appengine] Re: How to access normal files in google App engine
Hi Gopal, you ask > is there a way to delete the stuff you uploaded before The answer is, it's done automatically during upload, as each successfull upload creates an exact mirror of your project folder and its subfolders. Any new content will be uploaded and any content you deleted on your computer will be deletet on the web too. So you can leave the task of deleting web content fully to Google. You only have to care not to delete a file on your computer which is still needed on the web.
