Does PyODBC work with GAE Flexible Enviroment? Alternative?

[Alesandro de Lima]

Hi,

We are attempting to deploy a test app on GAE flexible.

We added within the requirments.txt 

pyodbc

We keep getting the following error: "fatal error: sql.h: No such file or directory"

Has anyone had a similar issue? What was your solution?

Many thanks in advanced!

Hi,

As you mentioned, you can add dependencies via requirements.txt file in App Engine Flex. but if your application requires additional operating-system level dependencies, you will need to use a custom runtime to install the appropriate packages.

For further technical support on the error message you get, I recommend that you post your full detailed question to Stack Overflow, using the supported Cloud tags, since Google Groups are reserved for general Google Cloud Platform-end product discussions and not for technical questions.

Hey this is great! Thank you for pointing me in this direction. 

Do you have any documentation on how to install different packages? 

We need this one:

 sudo apt-get install unixodbc unixodbc-dev

Thank you in advance, any documents on how to do this?

Building a Custom Runtime, you need to configures the runtime environment via a Dockerfile and put your executive commands there.
