Cannot use appcfg.py

[Shantanu Paul]

Running appcfg.py in CMD with any options and actions causes the standard help commands to be displayed and the action is not performed.

I am trying to rollback update as it got stuck during deployment. So running "appcfg.py rollback" gives:

Usage: appcfg.py [options] <action>

I am using Python 2.7.9 and latest version of Appengine SDK for PHP.

Hi

Just to point it out, I think that the two stack overflow posts you link are not exactly relevant to your issue, as they are 2 and 4 year old respectively. I don't believe the appcfg.py tool has been broken for that long.

Did you update to gcloud or are you staying on the php standalone SDK on purpose? Because earlier this week we deprecated the standalone SDKs to move to gcloud. 

I'd test with a fresh python install and the newest gcloud version, making sure there's NOTHING "polluting" your PATH, so to speak.

Cheers

I am using the latest Google App Engine SDK for Python.

I believe the issue is exactly the same as it is resolved with using full paths to both python binary as well as appcfg.py as posted in a comment in one of the questions.

I'll try with the gcloud SDK and post the results.

Hi Shantanu,

I'll wait for your update on gcloud. In the meantime, I would suggest fully using the paths :).

Cheers!
