How to Export Web2py and Your Application to Google App Engine

==============================================================

Written by Jonathan Benn

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Download the source code version of Google App Engine SDK:

<http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.1.5.zip>

2. Download the source code version of web2py:

<http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/web2py_src.zip>

3. Unzip GAE and web2py. You end up with a `google_appengine` directory,

and a `web2py` directory.

4. Place `web2py` inside `google_appengine`.

5. Edit `google_appengine/web2py/app.yaml`. In the top line, change `web2py`

to whatever application name you set up when you signed up for Google App Engine.

6. Open up a command prompt. Go to the `google_appengine` directory.

a. To run the demo app server, execute the command:

`dev_appserver.py web2py/`

**or**

`python dev_appserver.py web2py/`

b. To upload your application to the real online server, execute the

command:

`appcfg.py update web2py/`

**or**

`python appcfg.py update web2py/`
