That doesn't seem to work. First, I believe web2py will be looking
for an application named _ah to handle the request (versus a controler
named _ah in myapp). Assuming there is a way to resolve that (which
would be great to know), the second issue is that to deal with inbound
mail requests you need to subclass InboundMailHandler from Google so
that you can pull apart the various pieces of the email message with
ease.
I based this on the simple piece of code in the Google docs (http://
code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail.html) and it
seems like I have to figure out how to get that to run through web2py
so that it picks up all the stuff that should be in the environment.
Perhaps it's as simple as changing the WSGI calls at the bottom of it:
application = webapp.WSGIApplication([ReportHandler.mapping()],
debug=True)
def main():
run_wsgi_app(application)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
All I know is that I seem to be outside the basic usage path which is
tough on your first experience with a new framework.
