Thanks for the update Tim, yeah this is really weird, and causing me
much frustration and sleep loss! But I will not give up...
I have tried literally everything I can think of at this point, from
moving the "helloworld" directory to different locations
("google_appengine" directory, home directory ("/home/chris/") and
Desktop). I have tried just about every syntax possibility in the
command line, even ones that don't make any sense, and nothing works.
I'm not surprised you were able to get it working, I seem to be the
only one with any difficulty. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 (just installed
updates) and using AppEngine SDK 1.1.9
The app.yaml file may be the issue then. The permissions look ok
though, so I don't know what the big deal is. I read the other day
that Gedit doesn't have native support for yaml but I created versions
of app.yaml (with the exact same content) in both Vim and Emacs, both
of which (I believe) support it, and neither of those versions made
any difference.
Pardon my ignorance (I'm brand-new to Linux) but where should I look
for my dev directory, or is that another term for the working
directory? (or is that just a directory you created?) Should I place
the "google_appengine" directory in the dev directory (~/dev/
google_appengine/)?
My home directory is /home/chris/ and that is exactly where I have my
"helloworld" directory located (/home/chris/helloworld/).
"google_appengine" is also in my home directory (/home/chris/
google_appengine) so when I run google_appengine/dev_appserver.py
helloworld/ as it says to do in the tutorial, from my working
directory (/home/chris/) i get the strange
ch...@chris-laptop:~$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py helloworld/
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I also get the exact same error when i run "google appengine/
dev_appserver.py ./helloworld/" (without quotes). How is my syntax
invalid? That's what's frustrating me. I either get this or I get the
"Application configuration not found" error (when I put the
"helloworld" directory in the "google_appengine" directory for
instance). I have never gotten any other result than those two error
messages. I spent an hour or so last night going through Synaptic
making sure I had all the proper Python 2.5.2 packages installed (gtk,
yaml parsers, etc.) and sure enough, didn't help at all.
Like I said, I don't want to give up, but I really want to use
AppEngine (on Ubuntu) for a project. Is there anything else I can do?
