[web2py] No module named google.appengine.api

[ShaluT]

Hi,

I am learning web2py with goal to deploy app to the GAE.

Problem I am facing:
  On executing the following in default.py(controller)

        import google.appengine.api


  I am getting errors locally:

        XYZ/applications/welcome/controllers/default.py", line 19, in
<module>
         import google.appengine.api
         ImportError: No module named google.appengine.api


While playing out with GAE, I created and deployed a small demo
successfully. With web2py I am unable to use google.appengine.api...

Please help
