This package installs the
Google App Engine SDK
1.9.54 to the site-packages
directory of the current Python
interpreter so that you can use from google import appengine
outside the
dev_appserver.py
runtime. This is useful if you want to use the
google.appengine.ext.testbed
package in your tests.
It also makes all of the GAE commands like dev_appserver.py
,
bulkloader.py
, etc. globaly available without the .py
extension.
The installer works wit Virtualenv.
The version of this package mirrors the GAE SDK version (currently 1.9.54) and if there will be a new release of the SDK, there will be a corresponding release of this package too.
Create a virtual environment
$ virtualenv e
$ . e/bin/activate
Install with pip,
$(e) pip install gae_installer
or with easy_install,
$(e) easy_install gae_installer
or manually
$(e) git clone https://github.com/peterhudec/gae_installer.git
$(e) python gae_installer/setup.py install
$(e) rm -rf gae_installer
The installation will take a while. After it is complete, you should be able to
import the google.appengine
module:
(e)$ python -c "from google import appengine; print appengine.__file__"
/Users/peterhudec/demo/e/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google_appengine/google/appengine/__init__.pyc
And the GAE executables should be in the ./e/bin/
directory.
$(e) ls -l ./e/bin/
total 232

Runnig the python setup.py install
tries to download the
Google App Engine SDK
for Linux/Other Platforms from the
https://storage.googleapis.com/appengine-sdks/featured/google_appengine_X.X.X.zip
URL. If the response mime-type is not application/zip
, the requested version
is deprecated and the installer will download the GAE SDK from
https://storage.googleapis.com/appengine-sdks/deprecated/XXX/google_appengine_X.X.X.zip
where XXX is the GAE SDK version matching the GAE Installer version.
The downloaded ZIP archive will then be checked against the MD5 checksum
afec2639b27aabaacf54697d51dee959
and extracted into the site-packages/google_appengine
directory of the
current Python interpreter and made available to the PYTHONPATH with the
site-packages/google_appengine.pth
file. GAE Installer also creates Bash
executables in the scripts directory of the current Python interpreter
which wrap the GAE Python executables in the site-packages/google_appengine
directory.
