Blob.download_to_file not working on Compute Engine

[Samuli Kuusisto]

Blob.download_to_file is not working on my Compute Engine instance. The blob is succesfully loaded, but code execution fails where asterisk * is in the following code block:

    from google.cloud import storage

    gcs = storage.Client()
    bucket = gcs.get_bucket('bucket_name')
    shp_blob = bucket.blob(shapeFile +".shp")
    with open('/tmp/shp-file', 'w+') as self.shp_file:
        logger.log_text('success2.3')
        shp_blob.download_to_file(self.shp_file)*
    logger.log_text('success2.4')

Please help! This same code used to work in App Engine. I'm using Linux Debian VM (Compute Engine) + nginx + gunicorn + flask REST API, and in one of the endpoints above mentioned happens. I followed this tutorial whit slight modification when I setup the server.

are you using a key? if not, you might need to add full storage permissions to the compute instance.

I am using a key..still it doesn't work. If I run the same code in a separate test file without server, it works.
