Hi Chris
Can you try running the dev_appserver.py by specifying python first
(I note in all you examples you don't do that)
ie
cd /home/chris/helloworld
python ~/google_appengine/dev_appserver.py .
Also open up the file /home/chris/google_appengine/google/appengine/
tools/
> dev_appserver.py in an editor and look at line 1319
It should be as follows
source_file, pathname, description = result
If you do a sum on the file
sum /home/chris/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/
dev_appserver.py
you should get a value of
04413 103
This is a simple checksum
If it doesn't match I would say you need to refetch the the zip.
