'fab deploy' complains about no fabfiles... about webputty HOT 3 CLOSED

Maybe solutution:

cd WebPutty
nano fabfile.py
# change:
# APPENGINE_PATH = '/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine'
# to: the real path to your appengine !!!!
# change:
# PYTHON = '/usr/bin/python2.5'
# to: PYTHON = '/usr/bin/python'
# (use 'which python' to find the path to your python)

Now, when you do

  fab deploy

the following error will come up"

ImportError: No module named google.appengine.api

This is because there is already a google in python:

>>> import google
>>> google.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/google/__init__.pyc'

There should be a better way, but I did this to get rid of the error:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/google

from webputty.

I had this problem too, I think it's the instructions for installing Google App Engine that are not clear. The download page instructs you to visit another page for instructions, which links you back to the download page for further details.

No such details are provided anywhere. I guess they just expect you to know how Python works with packages.

The google_appengine folder does not just need to be unzipped, but also put into your Python system.path so, on my system, running the unzip command from inside /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ creates a google_appengine folder in there, and the instructions from WebPutty readme work to deploy everything from then on.

I was trying to run pip deploy from inside of google_appengine/, obviously a newb mistake.

I do not think you need to rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages anything.

from webputty.

I gave up. Do no harm does not mean anything.
