App Engine Python Modules and inbound mail service

Question

I am using App Engine Modules in my python project. (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/#Python_Background_threads)

I am also receiving email in m project: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail

I want to direct the emails to my worker module and not the default module. To that end my worker.yaml has the following settings

worker.yaml

    api_version: 1
    application: integrate
    module: worker
    version: 1-0-0
    runtime: python27
    threadsafe: true

    inbound_services:
    - mail

    builtins:
    - deferred: on

    handlers:

    - url: /admin/.+
      script: src.worker.main.app
      login: admin

    - url: /_ah/mail/.+
      script: src.worker.main.app
      login: admin

    - url: /.*
      script: src.worker.main.app

app.yaml

    api_version: 1
    application: integrate
    version: 1-0-0
    runtime: python27
    threadsafe: true

    builtins:
    - deferred: on

    handlers:

    - url: /admin/.+
      script: src.default.main.app
      login: admin

    - url: /.*
      script: src.default.main.app

I even tried adding a dispatch.yaml

    application: integrate

    dispatch:
    - url: "*/_ah/mail/.+"
      module: worker

But no matter what I do the emails which reach my app are handled by the default module. Any idea what I am missing here? I see the emails coming in but no matter what I do they only go to the default module.

Answer 1

Inbound services could be used only within default module and that is expected behavior. The fact that it works for you locally in devserver is a bug, actually.
