google glass quickstart for python

Question

I am having trouble getting the Quickstart working properly. I am new to Python and GAE and I am not a full-time programmmer, but have developed before. However, I have Python 2.7 and GAE properly installed (win7), but the Quickstart does not tell me where in my app directory to put the generated "session.secret" file. I put it in the app root "mirror-quickstart-python" folder. When I try to run the app on the dev webserver via the GAE Launcher, it throws errors (log shown below).

I have successfully deployed another sample app (guestbook), here: http://smlqadtest.appspot.com/ So I think I am close. To get this far in Python, I had to learn about Jinja2, pip, distribute_setup.py, and a bunch of other stuff. It looks like it needs PIL, too, but on Win64 there seems to be issues witch lead me down a rathole. But I am not sure I need that. Anyway, I'd love some help on getting this going! Thanks! Scott

Answer 1

The error message indicates that you haven't set the client ID for your project:

ERROR ... Property "client_id" is not configured.

Edit client_secrets.json and populate it with values that you take from the API console per this step in the setup process.

For example, if your APIs console looks like this: then your client_secrets.json would look like this:

{
  "web": {
    "client_id": "1234.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "client_secret": "ITS_A_SECRET_TO_EVERYBODY",
    "redirect_uris": [
    ],
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
  }
}
