Unknow command paster controller with GAE setup

[Alex Popescu]

I've followed the setup for using Pylons with Google App Engine as
described on monkey wiki page [1]
After performing the hack mentioned in this thread [2], I've been able
to start the app, but now I'm pretty sure I'm doing something stupid
as running:

(pictionarius)macthor:bin alex$ ./paster controller hello

Command 'controller' not known (you may need to run setup.py egg_info)
Known commands:
create Create the file layout for a Python distribution
exe Run #! executable files
help Display help
make-config Install a package and create a fresh config file/
directory
points Show information about entry points
post Run a request for the described application
request Run a request for the described application
serve Serve the described application
setup-app Setup an application, given a config file

Can you please help me out to understand what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,

Alex,

I believe there is a new working set of instructions for getting Pylons working on GAE.  I believe either Ian or Mike Orr have these somewhere, but they might be mid flight somewhere on the way to PyCon, so they might not respond promptly.  I haven't tried it in a bit due to getting busy on other things.  We also are writing an article about this as well, so any feedback you could give us would be great, once you get the proper instructions that is!

[1] is the latest. [2] will be changed to it as soon as it's gotten
more testing.

When running "paster controller", the current directory should be
your Pylons application. This allows it to find the controller entry
point in the application's egg-info directory. The commands listed
are the ones built into PasteDeploy.

I assume this is app/MyApplication right?

There is no egg-info in there (where can I read more about egg, egg-
info, etc?).
I might be wrong, but I think that following Point 4 in [1] leads to
some of the things being deleted.
