Multiple issues deploying server app into AppEngine

[lukwam]

Trying to deploy the password-alert server into a new GCP Project and I'm running into some trouble.

The first issue I ran into was the app.yaml, which gcloud app deploy complained about, so I changed:

application: broad-password-alert
version: 1

to

# application: broad-password-alert
# version: 1

and then I was able to deploy the app.

Once it was deployed. I tried to access it and got the error:

ImportError: No module named apiclient.discovery

I tried to fix this by installing the gcloud-api-python-client into a newly created lib directory in the server directory like this:

mkdir lib/
pip install -t lib/ google-api-python-client

I also created an appengine_config.py with the following:

from google.appengine.ext import vendor

# Add any libraries install in the "lib" folder.
vendor.add('lib')

and then I redeployed the app with gcloud app deploy.

Then I ran into the issue:

ImportError: cannot import name appengine

At this point I'm wondering if there is an older version of google-api-python-client I should be using, or if there are newer docs that show how to deploy this successfully so I don't have to modify the code too much?

I'm having a similar issue. I tried importing the google-api-python-client as @lukwam suggested and creating the appengine_config.py, but am still getting this error:

It appears to now be giving me a similar error as @lukwam

I ran into these same issues this week.

I got a functional version of the apiclient library by downloading and unzipping the prebuilt server files to deploy from, but I'm now getting http error 500 when trying to launch the admin app at https://.appspot.com.

Is this project just defunct now? It seems much of the code is out of date enough as to be unsupported.
