Can Google App Engine read CSV file and show the content in the web page?

Can Google App Engine read CSV file and show the content in the web
page?

Can anybody give me a example?

Something like that should work (didn't test it)

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
f = open('my_file.csv') # my_file.csv : same level than main.py
and not static
csv = f.read()
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/csv'
self.response.out.write(csv)

application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
[('/', MainPage)],
debug=True)

Hi

python under app engine can read files, it just can't write files to
the file system under gae.

So have a look at the getting started guide - for instance the Hello
World or the Template examples
and just modify them to read the csv and output it.
Its a pretty basic addition if you have worked out how to do file i/o
in python.

I suggest you work through the exmples and get use to the platform.
