Now I meant to post this one earlier, since this was actually the
first thing I tried, it is exactly what is written in the appengine
docs at
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstarted/helloworld.html
google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/
I put the "helloworld" directory in my home directory "/home/chris"
Then I ran the command in the terminal exactly as specified and got
the following:
ch...@chris-laptop:~$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, I'm new to both Linux and
AppEngine, but it seems like I may be running the command in the wrong
manner, using incorrect syntax or not locating files appropriately. So
basically, I either get this "syntax error" message, or the previously
mentioned "Application configuration file not found" message. I really
want to start using AppEngine, but I'm following all the instructions
and still can't seem to get it working
