ImportError: No module named google.appengine.api

I am having some issues with running python manage.py collectstatic. I get this error now:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from google.appengine.api import memcache

ImportError: No module named google.appengine.api

Everything I have tried so far has been to no avail, I am not sure exactly what I need to do to be able to run collectstatic.

Thanks for reading!

i am not familiar with the tools you mention, are the GAE tools?  are you running them in the GAE environment?  if you are trying to invoke tools from the command line, please be sure that your python path includes the google tooling, you might want to setup a virtualenv for this.  when i setup my virtualenv i did:

GAESDK=[PATH_TO_YOUR_GAE_SDK]
add2virtualenv $GAESDK/lib/webapp2-2.5.2/
add2virtualenv $GAESDK/lib/webob-1.2.3/
add2virtualenv $GAESDK/lib/yaml-3.10/
add2virtualenv $GAESDK/lib/python-gflags/
add2virtualenv $GAESDK

plus a few others that were specific to my project.
