Having created a python appengine app and now want to distribute to different "users" who need to run their app on their own appid / account. What is the best way to handle this? Up to 10 users I can do this for the users, but how can I package the app for them, or do it for them?

GAE is a cloud system where you'd normally create one app to serve multiple clients. See Multitenancy and the Namespaces API to see how to safely separate your clients data. Also you can have multiple custom domains so that every client can have a separate domain.

  • Yes, I am aware of multitenancy and Namespaces, but there are users who really want to have their own version of the source code. – mooose Apr 02 '13 at 20:54
  • Then maybe you should give them war archive and they should upload it to their own instance? – Peter Knego Apr 03 '13 at 15:34
  • Yes, this is my second best guess also. I was just curious, if there is an easier way. Maybe a python script, which is doing most of the _work_ like setting up some config and putting and appid into the source and so on. – mooose Apr 04 '13 at 12:49
  • It's possible to upload the war to 3rd party account, but this is not documented. See Codenvy: https://codenvy.com/features. They support deploy to GAE: https://wiki.codenvycorp.com/display/CPD/Google+App+Engine. Also see this: http://try.devtable.com/ – Peter Knego Apr 04 '13 at 13:07
