Trouble with Zipfile, Django 1.0, GAE Django Helper

[Dylan Lorimer]

So I'm trying to get the app engine django helper working with the
zipfile example for django 1.0, and running into a problem.

I should also mention that I'm using the bootstrap method in the GAE
django helper readme. I'm also using version 66 of the django helper
(pulled via svn.)

I created the django.zip following the exact instructions at
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django10_zipimport.html.

So, the trouble I'm having is that after dropping in django.zip into
the root level of my application folder, I start the app server, and
in the browser see the following error(s):

looks like the error is in my django.zip that I'm creating, but I'm
not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

Hi Kosei,

Thank you so much for providing this package. Indeed it does work! I'm still a bit befuddled as to why I was never able to get a fresh svn checkout of the django app helper + a django.zip created following Guido's directions working, but I'm just happy to have a working 1.0 install!

Thanks again.

Hi Kosei -

Any idea why I can't import newforms in your package?

Hi Dylan.

Django 1.0 not support newforms.

plese read follow document.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.0-porting-guide/#use-django-forms-instead-of-newforms

replace from
from django import newforms as forms
to
from django import forms

Thanks.
Kosei.

It sounds as if you've found an alternate solution, but regarding the
error you ran into while following the article, the following as part
of step 4 should resolve the problem:

zip -r django.zip django/contrib/__init__.py django/contrib/auth
django/contrib/sessions

Note that you may also need to adjust MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in
settings.py to enable
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', since auth
depends on it.
