This is not at all friendly to those who have never touched Python before. Google apps instructs me to run appcfg.py which does not exist in the the master folder and WTF does Pip do besides open up command prompt windows for a half second.

As someone new to Python and GAE can I use Python 2.7 or do you still advise 2.5?
I'm assuming 2.7 will simplify the GAE install a little.

Can this be added to the readme.md

readme.md
"Download and install Python 2.5 and the Google App Engine SDK for Python"

When initially reading the documentation, it didn't seem to make it clear that a url2png account was required for WebPutty. The fact that it's under Advanced Setup next to the option to use Google Cloud Storage makes it seem optional.

After messing with WebPutty for some time this afternoon, it seems that a url2png account is required for things to work. It would have been nice if the docs specified that, in order to save time for those who don't want to spend the money on a url2png account.

If there is a way to use the app without url2png, it would be nice if that was documented as well. From what I can tell, there isn't. I can get it up and running by commenting out the urlpng variable in settings.py, but I'm unable to actually add or work with any sites without it.

i follow the steps , python was already install an i haveto update the pip version using easy_install .
but have problem with fab deploy see capture screen about CLI ( command line install) and google App service .
The instruction don't say where to install webputty from the repo
git install project by default in C:\Users\username\Documents\GitHub\WebPutty
when i click on the running link from google appengine account t i have a debug text file .
Bu there is no way to attach this txt using git web interface ?

Thank's for any help

I'm getting a 500 error on new install, with this trace in the logs:

May just need to update pyscss.

"Webputty is awesome for media queries based on viewport width. You just make the preview pane bigger or smaller depending on your needs. Thus it would be even more awesome if you had a small display on top or bottom telling you the current width of the preview pane."

I am using Python 2.7 and GAE 1.7.0
on Ubuntu Linux 12.04

what looks to be happening is the parser is barfing on the actual base64-encoded data portion of the URI and then instead of dropping the entire CSS property that URI was a part of, it just leaves a malformed one in it's place.

so instead of:

background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,[big-blob-o-data]);

you're left with:

background-image: url(data:image/png;

...which I think is causing the rest of the CSS file to be parsed improperly.

• might be FF-only (appears to work in Chrome)

steps:

1. open the editor
2. click on firebug and wait for firebug lite to load in the preview pane
3. minimize firebug lite
4. click on the bug icon in the lower-right corner of the preview pane to try and restore firebug lite

result:

bug icon disappears, but firebug lite isn't restored

expected:

restored firebug lite pane

I had simplejson in python path, could anyone point out what the problem is here? Thanks!
