Hey Brian, I did try the Mac OS version a couple times. The idea is nice. Not only because of "to reduce the number of deps". I think it's good to have dev appserver running in a "clean", separate environment, closer to how it works in production (e.g. I sometimes mess up my python 2.7 and site packages, making them do weird stuff, experimenting).
The reason I'm not using it daily (both with and w/o bundled python) is that I'd have it frozen (the Launcher app) so I had to "forse quit" it from Activity Monitor. And it happens too often so, at the end of the day I find myself using SDK *.py scripts directly from the Terminal (which I don't mind actually). Unfortunately, I can't really provide some deterministic steps to reproduce "freezing" right now. But, I noticed it almost always happend when I click "stop" (to stop the dev appserver). -- alex On Thursday, May 17, 2012 6:59:19 AM UTC+2, Brian Quinlan wrote: > > Hi, > > Along with the usual components of the App Engine 1.6.5 release, we > also released an experimental version of the Mac OS X Launcher that > includes a siloed version of Python 2.7 (see > https://developers.google.com/appengine/downloads).
