I want to run a Python shell in my GAE local development server
environment. As I understand, the best way to do this is to run:
  python web2py.py -S <app_folder_name>

(Please correct me if I doing something wrong here)

Next, I run in the shell the following commands:
  from gluon.dal import DAL
  from gluon.shell import exec_environment
  from gluon.tools import Auth
  db = DAL('gae')

I get the following error back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/jacobgur/Documents/workspace/web2py/src/gluon/dal.py",
line 3357, in __init__
    raise RuntimeError, "Failure to connect, tried 5 times:\n%s" %
error
RuntimeError: Failure to connect, tried 5 times:
global name 'gae' is not defined

What am I doing wrong?

As a side note, is there an easy way to using the GAE interactive
console, or is there a html-based shell available?

Thanks
