Google App Engine Remote Api Import Error

Question

I connected to my app using remote_api. When I try to import my models using this

from models import SimpleCounterShard

I get the following error

ImportError: No module named models

I tried searching for solutions and it seems something to do with PYTHONPATH. Can someone tell me how to fix this ? I am using a Mac.

Answer 1

I added the application directory to my system path and it worked

Answer 2

Connecting to remote_api provides you with access to your production data, but not to your python modules. Your source code must be available on your local machine to achieve what you're trying to do.
