Googe App Engine Installer 1.9.54.4

https://travis-ci.org/peterhudec/gae_installer.svg?branch=master

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.

Usage

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/

How It Works

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.
