After two years of successful uploads of all my five applications I've
changed to Django 1.2

Now it says: You do not have permission to modify this app

Details:

Application: reimbu-germany; version: 570
Host: appengine.google.com

Starting update of app: reimbu-germany, version: 570
Scanning files on local disk.
Error 403: --- begin server output ---
You do not have permission to modify this app (app_id=u'reimbu-
germany').
--- end server output ---

It's the same with all my apps.
I've checked that the app name is the same on appspot.com and in my
app.yaml

Any idea how to resolve?

Is there any chance that after providing a wrong password I was
permanently locked out?

I suggest you try deleting your ~/.appcfg_cookies file and being extra
careful when entering your account info. Maybe you're making a small
typo / using the wrong account to push?

Thank you Robert

However:
1. I'm using Ubuntu platform and could not find any appcfg_cookies
file. Any idea where it should be?
2. The
Error 403: --- begin server output ---
You do not have permission to modify this app
is showing up before I'm requested to provide the username and
password

Any idea how to proceed?

You should read Robert response more closely:

 ~/.appcfg_cookies

Means if you're using Ubuntu, you should have a hidden file called ".appcfg_cookies" in your home directory (/home/[username]). Notice the point before the filename.

I cannot find this particular file in my home directory either.

Note that it is a "hidden" (dot) file.
