Follow this Udacity Instruction to put create a simple web app via Google App Engine.
Youtube Link here.
Install the Python App Engine SDK (for Mac, in my case).
After installation some new symbolic links are created under /usr/local/bin - taken a snapshot for future refernce (just in case!)
In my case, I somehow got errors at the deployment stage - I seem to have errors when deploying from the Google App Engine Launcher from my Mac.
So I turned to this alternative Hello World tutorial instead (took 5 minutes to do) - and it works.
Deployed to: http://encoded-copilot-116822.appspot.com/
if the project folder helloworld is stored at /User/Johnny/, then just navigate to /User/Johnny/, and issue followings to test and/or deploy.
To test:
dev_appserver.py helloworld/
(This will enable you to view on localhost. Port numbers will be given in console when you run the command).
To deploy:
Ensure you create a project up-front via the Google Cloud Platform console. Get YOUR_PROJECT_ID there.
appcfg.py -A YOUR_PROJECT_ID update helloworld/
The deployed website URL takes the form like this:
http://YOUR_PROJECT_ID.appspot.com
