python installing Google App Engine through pip

Question

I tried to follow askubuntu answer and install Google App Engine module for python using pip. This seems cleaner for me than downloading raw files and adding PATH export to bashrc.

So I tried:

tomasz@tomasz-lenovo-ideapad-Y530:~$ sudo pip install appengine.py
[sudo] password for tomasz: 
Downloading/unpacking appengine.py
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement appengine.py
No distributions at all found for appengine.py
Storing complete log in /home/tomasz/.pip/pip.log

and it failed. I don't know what's wrong, because the appengine module is available: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/appengine. Can anyone point me what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try using

    sudo pip install appengine

instead. Basically, don't add the .py at the end.
