Re: Error running Launcher Hello World app Python 2.7 Mac: "Invalid argument"

Looks like you're missing a '/' at the beginning of the python directory you set in the launcher. If you're using OSX 10.8, you don't need to the python directory since OSX defaults to using Python 2.7.

I am attempting to run Google App Engine with Python 2.7, just the basic Hello World application that is built for me using the Google App Engine Launcher.  I have installed Python 2.7 and the latest version of Google App Engine.  I am also using the GAE Launcher.  I create my first application using the Launcher, which creates a folder, and puts in the appropriate files (all matching the documentation).  I have my preferences in GAE set to point to my python 2.7 director.  When I attempt to run from the Launcher, I get the following error in the LOG Console:

According tot he documentation, this should not produce any errors, and I should be able to bring up a browser, enter localhost:8080 and get my "Hello world" output.  But when I do, I get this instead:

HTTP ERROR: 404

Problem accessing /. Reason:

I don't know what to do to resolve this.    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
