I accidently deleted my application code from my own machine, however it's running on Google App Engine (GAE), is there a way I could download it from there?

  • Why aren't basic tools like source code control taught by institutions at supposedly 'teach' people how to write code? Did you either go to a dodgy university, or are you self taught? – Jay Jul 20 '10 at 09:44

app engine actually recently added the ability for the developer who uploaded a given app version to download its source code:

You cannot do this unless you have prepared your app ahead of time properly. There is a chance the trick described by Nick in the duplicate question here might work for you. Otherwise, I would suggest using source control like git or svn.
