GAE not finding httplib2

[Vladimir via StackOverflow]

I'm trying to run the sample code https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client/tree/master/samples/appengine from the Google API Python Client on the Google Cloud platform. After starting the test app I'm seeing this error:

ImportError: No module named httplib2

I checked the cloud env provided and it has the lib available

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2

I can import it in the python command line:

Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar  1 2015, 12:57:24) 
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import httplib2
>>> 

It must be installed but GAE is not recognizing it.

You could create env without global packages, so they aren't available in env, but in global python shell yes (without env).

I fixed it myself by putting httplib2 in the engine dir (the dir where app.yaml exists).
