This is a barebones Django project configured for use on App Engine using Djangae
To get started:
- Clone this repo (don't forget to change the origin to your own repo!)
- Run
./install_deps(this will pip install requirements, and download the App Engine SDK) - Run
./rename_mlage_app my_new_app_nameto rename the 'mlage' app (and all references to it) python manage.py runserver
The install_deps helper script will install dependencies into a 'sitepackages' folder which is added to the path. Each time you run it your sitepackages will be wiped out and reinstalled with pip. The SDK will only be downloaded the first time (as it's a large download).
Create a Google App Engine project. Edit app.yaml and change application: djangae-mlage to application: your-app-id. Then, if you're in the djangae-mlage directory, run:
$ appcfg.py update ./
If you have two-factor authentication enabled in your Google account, run:
$ appcfg.py --oauth2 update ./
There is currently a bug in App Engine which means that HSTS headers are stripped from responses served from a custom domain. If you're using HTTPS on a custom domain then you should make a request to Google to get your domain whitelisted for HSTS.
If you are on OS X and using Homebrew-ed Python, you might get the following error when running ./install_deps:
error: must supply either home or prefix/exec-prefix -- not both
This is a known issue and a possible workaround is to make an "empty prefix" by default by adding a ~/.pydistutils.cfg file with the following contents:
[install]
prefix=
