Motivation

Running apps on appengine is really nice. However, you need a good skeleton to get you going fast. This is a project skeleton which includes some of the things (libs and configuration) that I pick for most projects. You can freely use this.

Components

Libraries

Python

• Flask
• Jinja
• werkzeug

Dependencies

General

• Python 2.7
• Google AppEngine SDK http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html

Setup

clone repository

git clone https://github.com/femmerling/Flask-GAE-py27.git <project_name>

change to directory of <project_name>

cd <project_name>

fetch all the submodules via

git submodule update --init

set your own appengine application id in app.yaml

change the 'secret_key' in settings.py by generating a new one

add replace remote

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin <new_remote like git@github.com:your_name/project_name.git>
git commit -am "initial setup"
git push origin master

Update from Skeleton

Add the remote and merge in all changes and removes the old stuff again.

git remote add skeleton https://github.com/femmerling/Flask-GAE-py27.git
git pull skeleton
git checkout -b skeleton remotes/skeleton/master
git rebase <your_development_branch like master>
git checkout <your_development_branch like master>
git merge --no-ff skeleton
git branch -D skeleton
git remote rm skeleton
git submodule update
