Bill, So, you are not suggesting that Dave's recommendation to NOT put my secret file in the material committed to the appspot, because it would be available to anyone on the web, right? But you are saying that if I learn to write a "little script" that pulls my secret key .... [see the quote from Dave, below], then the ignore feature would work nicely for the little script and the tiny.py file Dave mentions. And I agree that the ignore would be dandy and I appreciate your jumping in here. I sure wish such a little script and tiny .py file example existed for me to adapt, because I'm very shaky on python programming, especially creating (,linking) and editing existing editable source files.
[Below is a quote from Dave's earlier message in the thread] Okay, I see where you're coming from. Your best bet is probably to auto-generate or manually edit a tiny .py file that you don't check in to SVN (or maybe check in a secret-key.py.template with the key replaced with "InsertKeyHere"). Then you could write a little script that pulls your real secret key from a file on your own computer before uploading your app. [Above is a quote from Dave's earlier message in the thread] On Jan 24, 1:35 am, Bill <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian, > > If you plan on storing thekeyin a file, I would suggest using the > svn:ignore > feature:http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.props.s... > > You can tell svn to not check in any file that matches yourprivate > filename.
