Any suggestion?

Hello Volodymyr,

I did some research and found this error to commonly occur due to missing dependencies, environment files not found, or skipping/ignoring files or folders. You can refer to this Server Fault post for example.

Since you are using python, my suggestion would be to first ensure that your application is in a virtual environment, and to check that you’re not skipping/ignoring files using .gitignore, .gcloudignore, or the skip_files flag on the app.yaml.

For future posts, do keep in mind that Google Groups are generally reserved for discussions and opinions about Google products, you may want to refer to Stack Exchange for how-to and technical questions since the answer-question format on those sites will give your question greater visibility. With that in mind, I hope this information helps point you in the right direction.
