Hi all! In the Python 2 runtime, I can use the app_identity API to determine the current app's project id (ie application id) with app_identity.get_application_id(). Anyone know how to do this in the Python 3 runtime? https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/python-differences#app_engine_apis doesn't mention the app_identity API, and https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/python-differences#modules doesn't mention project id.

Thanks in advance!

Ryan, in runtime:python37 there is also a metadata server like the GCE metadata server. Unfortunately, you'll have to find the docs for that over in the Java8 docs... https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/accessing-instance-metadata
