I just installed Google app engine for Python 2.7 and I wrote some code for test. Just a simple HTML form. Here is the code:
import webapp2
form = """
<form method="post">
What is your birthday?
<br>
<label> Month
<input type="text" name="month">
</label>
<label> Day
<input type="text" name="day">
</label>
<label> Year
<input type="text" name="year">
</label>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
"""
class MainPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.response.out.write(form)
def post(self):
self.response.out.write("Succes!")
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
('/', MainPage),
], debug=True)
And then I tried to write a separate procedure that writes out my form, like so:
import webapp2
form = """
<form method="post">
What is your birthday?
<br>
<label> Month
<input type="text" name="month">
</label>
<label> Day
<input type="text" name="day">
</label>
<label> Year
<input type="text" name="year">
</label>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
"""
class MainPage(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def write_form(self):
self.response.out.write(form)
def get(self):
self.write_form()
def post(self):
self.response.out.write("Succes!")
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
('/', MainPage),
], debug=True)
Well, the thing is that the first code is working fine, but the second one is returning the HTTP error 500. I tried this out from a course on Udacity and I simply copied the code from there. I really don't know why it's not working.
PS. I see this message in terminal (Linux): "IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level INFO 2016-08-29 12:17:37,155 module.py:788] default: "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 -"
Later Edit: I solved this by simply writing the "write_form" procedure after the "get" procedure inside the MainPage class.
