App.yaml designed for serving a static site on Google App Engine (Python). Copy your static html and files into a folder called "static" next to app.yaml. Contains a bunch of mimetype declarations from html5boilerplate's .htaccess. May not be necessary for most situations.

The static folder is invisible when serving (i.e. my_site/static/index.html is accessed as http://your-app-name-here.appspot.com/index.html.

Hi, how would I reference a public file from the public/shared-json/blacklist.json in app.yaml?
The repo structure is:

  • public:
    - shared-json:
    - black-list.json
  • server :
    - app.yaml
    Below is how my app.yaml looks for handler section
    image

Is there a way to change the path in the static_dir option?
