mkdir is one of those operations that's prohibited on App Engine. The development server is faithfully mimicking the production server in this regard. Appengine Monkey puts stub functions into the os module to make this work. (You can't actually create a directory, but you can import a module that imports the functions.) I don't know how Google implemented support for Setuptools, whether they did it this way or not. So the question is, what's the difference between Matt's code and the appengine-homedir code that accounts for this exception? This is why I wish Pylons/Paste didn't use Setuptools at runtime, because it's hard to trace why things like this are happening. I think runner.py in appengine-homedir instantiates the application and HTTPServer manually, bypassing pkg_resources precisely to avoid problems like this. Also, make sure you're not using an old Appengine SDK. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
