Hi thanks for the reply. I want my users to change the settings in yaml file (like settings.yaml) as and when they require and click on a button to let us know that the user wants updates to be committed. Once that update signal comes to us, a shell script can update the application on GAE.
Btw, I tried reading yaml file using open but I put that file in static folder and it showed blocked error. Tim can you tell me where this settings.yaml file should be stored? Should it be stored along with other python scripts i.e. at root level? Could you please give little more explaination.
