Well syntactically, the "< gpass" should always be at the very end (and no, the name doesn't matter).
I tried it myself just now and ran into some weird EOF (end of file) error when launching the usual way (i.e. with appcfg.py being the first command). After some experimentation I discovered that this somehow breaks the input redirection to python, but if you launch it by invoking the python executable followed by the script name (appcfg.py) it works OK. This worked for me: python "C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" --passin -- email=[email] update [app_folder] < gpass That's on Windows. Of course adjust the path to where you have appcfg.py. On Jan 21, 3:30 pm, pythono <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey thanks.. > > Does the password file have to have a particular extension?
