I've been fighting similar problems on OS X. The short answer seems to be: point the SDK at Python 2.5. The symptoms are sort of erratic, but a long stack trace that ends in a failure to import some shared C library is what I've been seeing: _io or _ctypes so far. A small point: in the GAE SDK GUI (GoogleAppEngineLauncher) you can set the Python version as a Preference (point it to the python binary). But in the Preference field, you have to hit Enter, or it doesn't stick. I'm running Launcher version 1.4.2.1041 I happen to have Python 2.5.4 lying around, and that seems to work, so far. 2.5.2 is here if you want it: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.2/ > > > On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 11:41 PM, G.
