Question

I downloaded python and google apps so that I could learn to create applications. I have a Windows 7 computer. It appears that Google apps didn't load correctly. It couldn't find python and said I was missing "app engine sdk." Any thoughts how I can solve this?

Answer 1

what app you want to create?

Answer 2

for android apps you need to download eclipse or use mit appinventor easy peasy?

Answer 3

@happybee Appengine is web stuff, not Android.

Answer 4

Did you try it inside the development environment?

Answer 5

yes I heard that too. Like hosting your web in a sandbox stuff and use it efficiently right

Answer 6

I'm just learning programming, and for my first task, I'm supposed to be able to "print" hello world. I just added "c:\python27" to my path in the control panel and google apps seems to be working. (maybe that took care of my earlier problem?) But "hello world" doesn't appear when I type "localhost:10081". I get an error screen.

I'm taking a look at the link you provided. Thanks.

Answer 7

Well, something is definitely wrong. I just went to my files and I can't open "app.yaml". Windows doesn't recognize the extension. And python blinks on and off when I click on "main.py" and 'main.pyc". I did download google app from the python chart, so I think I'm in the right environment. But, I guess I'm still missing something.

Answer 8

if you are using win7 and have installed python, why don't you just use IDLE? It is (should have been) part of the Python install.

Answer 9

did you follow these instructions?

@bwCA Probably because the appengine tools rquire a server to run. The dev kit comes with a test server. Learning Python and Appengine are close cousins. Appengine runs on Python, but in a web environment.
