Re: Downloading Source Code

[Joakim]

Hi Janika,
If the Python appcfg utility works the same as the Java one, the options go before the action, so it should be something like this:
appcfg.py -A apageaboutturtles -V 1 download_app C:\Users\*****\Desktop

Also, I'd suggest learning to work with version control, rather than using dropbox or google drive. Bitbucket.org offers free hosting for private projects.

I'd like to use the Python SDK command line tool to download it, but running appcfg.py download_app -A <apageaboutturtles> -V <1> <C:\users\*****\desktop>  gives syntax errors

I have tried removing the brackets, and I've also tried some of the other commands in the help page, which all also return syntax errors. The little syntax error arrow (it looks like ^) appears under the last letter of download_app. Does that shed any light on the problem?

Whether I recover my data or not I will be taking a lesson from this, and have signed up for dropbox!

Hi Janika,

It sounds like you may be running the command from the Python command prompt.

The appcfg.py command is designed to be run from a normal Windows commnand prompt (cmd.exe).

The syntax is indeed used without the angle brackets;

appcfg.py download_app -A apageaboutturtles -V 1 c:\users\me\desktop\source_folder

Regards,

Julie
