Python library for uploading to AppEngine

[Emlyn]

Is there a python library for uploading code to AppEngine? I'd like to
build an App that can upload code to other apps, has anyone done this
already?

At the risk of asking the obvious, you mean other than appcfg.py?

Yep. Or, can you consume appcfg.py from inside your app? If you can,
then that's the answer to my question.

<yes, in advance, I am a hopeless n00b, sob>

It is just a Python script. Open it up and have a look at what it does.

HI

As robert says it  is just python. Also its using the remote_api.

So all definately do-able.  I run remote_api stuff inside zope to transparently access the datastore from within zope.

It's not just a python script, it's a fair sized system. I had a quick
look a while back and thought, hmm, this will take work.

So before I get into it again, I thought I'd be an idiot for not
asking first if someone else has done the work.

If not, I'll be happy to do it and post the results!

My google-fu is failing. Do you have any specific links to more info
on uploading code using remote_api?

Hi 

Sorry no specific links.

Have a read of appcfg.py in google/appengine/tools/appcfg.py , specifically the class

AppVersionUpload.

It uses remote_api rpc calls under the hood

All of the appcfg functions that talk to a remote server do.

If you wanted to build your own wrapper I would be using that class, otherwise you would need to start

building all of the stages of an upload yourself, which could change from release to release etc..

As it is, I am sure AppVersionUpload isn't a public api (ie could change from release to release, but I bet far less changes to manage.)

I've done something close in the past where I have a GAE app that pulls Python script from another location and executes it. Not sure if that helps you, but here it is. Make sure the script is safe, though, because it'll be running against your own datastore. 

            try:

                path = ROOT_URL + 'script.py'

                result = urllib2.urlopen(path)

            except:

                logging.error('Error pulling: ' + path)

                sys.exit(0)

            

            try:

                code = result.read()

                exec(code.replace('\r\n', '\n'))

            except:

                logging.error('Error in script')

                sys.exit(0)
