<project name> is not an App Engine project when attempting to deploy

Question

I'm getting this error when I attempt to deploy my python project for the first time. I could have sworn that I set everything up correctly. Is there something I need to set in the configuration? I have not idea where to start looking, any help would be appreciated.

This is my app.yaml file. It resides in the src folder:

application: bsl-dm
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

EDIT: After looking into this, I think the solution is that you cannot do this for python through eclipse (only java). You instead have to use the separate "Google App Engine Launcher" application.

Answer 1

I got your problem. I think you are using google plugin to deploy the app which expects an java application. It won't work for python applications. To deploy python app engine app from eclipse use pydev plugin. A search on google will get you there

Answer 2

This got me too! I assumed the button in the toolbar could be used for Python too but it was only for java.

In eclipse(which im guessing its the same in Aptana) once you have the pydev plugin installed simply right click on your apps main folder and go to "PyDev: Google App Engine" and click 'Upload'
