Outbound gRPC from AppEngine Standard Python 2.7

[Dan Massey]

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect from a Python 2.7 AppEngine Standard app to a gRPC server. I've seen in a few places (including this group) that this should be possible.

Unfortunately, I am unable to import grpc, due to an import error (ImportError: cannot import name cygrpc).

Two questions:

1) Should it be possible to send a request from GAE Standard to a gRPC server?

2) If so, does anyone have a code snippet or example of how to do this?

Thanks for your help

Dan
