I am trying to build a twitter app on google appengine using Python. I have used a Python Library called Twython to make the app on my Python script. However, when I try to use it in conjunction with google appengine, the application doesn't build i.e. I am having a problem installing Twython library on my google appengine Python script.

I have pasted Twython library I downloaded in the root folder of the app and used sys.path.insert(0,Lib) as mention in this answer and this. However, nothing works. As I am a beginner Python developer and new to google appengine, I would much appreciate a very detailed answer.

I thank you for your effort in answering my question in advance.

This is how I managed to solve the issue.

I was using a text editor to start with and I had already copied my twython library in a folder called lib in the root folder of the project where app.yaml lies.

I integrated GAE in Eclipse and tried to import my twython library. It was showing an error that "request library is missing". By then I was having a slight idea that it was probably an issue with dependencies of the library. So I included requests library then request-oauthlib and oauthlib. Then I used sys.path.insert(0,lib) after import sys in my lines of codes. It solved the problem.

  • Can you explain how you got the request library working in App Engine? I tried and the requests developers claim App Engine is not supported. – Adam Christianson Aug 27 '15 at 20:27
