Hi techboy,
App Engine uses a custom Python environment, and as such, things like
the search path may differ. For example, if you execute "sys.path" on
shell.appspot.com, you get:
['/base/python_dist/lib/python25.zip',
'/base/python_lib/versions/third_party/django-0.96',
'/base/python_dist/lib/p
Thanks Nick for your reply. Is the python module search path different
in production, than a standard client install? Because on my local
machine, the current directory is first in the search path, and
"import profile" from within the SDK loads profile.py from my project.
Thanks again.

Hi techboy,
It's not a sandboxing issue - it's all down to the Python search path.
System directories are listed before your own source directories, so
it searches them first. You can change it by modifying sys.path if you
wish.

The problem appears to be that the file in my project is named
profile.py. There is also a profile.py in the python distribution
itself.
I'm assuming that it is a sandboxing restriction(?), that I can't
import my own profile.py in production (even though it works fine in
the dev appserver).
