We meant that we now support both the Python 2.5 and Python 2.7 runtimes. The default remains 2.5; in order to use the 2.7 support you must put "runtime: python27" in your app.yaml file; and you still have to arrange to run the dev_appserver using Python 2.7, e.g. by using "python2.7 <path-to-sdk>/dev_appserver.py". Separately, it sounds like you installed Python 2.7 in such a way that it is not found as "python" on the default path. --Guido Thanks everyone, > Greg > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "google-appengine-python" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine-python/-/2L8Vax_QRgYJ. > > To post to this group, send email to > [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-python?hl=en. > -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
