Where is appcfg.py in google-cloud-sdk-133.0.0-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz?

Question

I'm trying to setup Eclipse to run PyDev to develop for GAE and I can't figure out to to link to the interpreter.

I'm linking to Google App engine directory, google-cloud-sdk/ folder that contains the /lib but I'm getting an error:

 Invalid Google App Engine directory. Did not find: appcfg.py in /Users/bryanwheelock/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk  

I ran Find command on the computer and couldn't find any instances of appcfg.py

Was is left out of the package?

Answer 1

After an install of the SDK, it is easiest to add components and update on the command line. If you are missing GAE files, then try this:

gcloud components install app-engine-python

To later upgrade, do this:

gcloud components update

I suspect that the tar.gz file you downloaded intentionally does not include all components because most people don't need all components and it just adds bloat.

Answer 2

Make sure app-engine-python is first installed.

gcloud components list

appcfg.py is located under,

<google-cloud-sdk>/platform/google_appengine/

Use this URL in pydev for GAE directory.
