'cssselect seems not to be installed. '

[NP]

I'm running python 2.7 on a mac. I have lxml (3.1.1) installed. I also downloaded and installed cssselector since it no longer comes with lxml

In my python file, I have the following

import lxml.etree
from lxml.cssselect import CSSSelector

When I run the python file (F5), there are no errors and I get my expected output.

But if I launch my app from Google App Engine (on the dev server), I get an error and the log file shows the following

File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lxml/cssselect.py", line 18, in <module>
    raise ImportError('cssselect seems not to be installed. '
ImportError: cssselect seems not to be installed. See http://packages.python.org/cssselect/

I found this link http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9136

Anybody have a solution/work around?

Remember every 3rd party lib you use must either be in the SDK (lxml for instance) or copied/installed into your project and the 

sys.path needs to reflect where in your project the library is located,  it also needs to be deployed with your application.

my app.yaml has this

libraries:
- name: lxml
  version: "latest"

You're right. I copied the cssselector folder into my project directory and it resolved the issue. I had thought I didn't need to do that since the lxml folder itself had the cssselect.py file within it.

Yes you local install might but apengine runs in a sandbox
