Is there an online IDE for Google App Engine?

Question

I am learning Google App Engine / Python and I love it. Unfortunately I am not allowed to use my own computer in the office and not allowed to install anything on the corporate machine.

It would be so great to have an online IDE for Google App Engine where I could play with my Python code using any browser, including the one on my iPad.

Maybe http://www.devunity.com/ will be an online IDE for GAE some day. Do you know any existing way to program GAE in a browser?

Answer 1

cloud-ide.com offers Exo IDE. This is a richly featured, cloud-based IDE that you use in the browser. Importantly for you, it supports the full cycle of deployment to various Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers, including Google App Engine!

I've used this before, and it's as simple as saying you want a new GAE project. You'll be redirected to Google pages when necessary to register details such as the app's name and domain. It even supports accessing GAE's log records for your app, although I've found this to be quite a bit slower than just using the Google-provided dashboard.

You can sign in with a Google account, and while I don't think that's necessary, I'd recommend it since this allows it to automatically associate the app you make with that account.

Google Cloud Shell provides you with command-line access to your cloud resources directly from your browser:
