I installed python 2.7.13 and the google original App Engine SDK for PHP. I created my first project on google console and When I am trying to deploy the project file from cmd using
appcfg.py -A *project-id* update *project-folder*
Instead of running, its just being edited in chrome. Please refer attached picture chrome editing appcfg.py
you are probably running Windows and have probably wrongly associated your .py files with Google Chrome (like it is associated to .html files)
Chrome acts as a text viewer in that case.
Either reinstall python (to fix associations, that would be the best thing to do, python has a "repair" option when running the installation, no need to uninstall/reinstall) or remove your user registry key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\shell\open\command]
which must contain something wrong like:
@="\"C:\\Programs\\chrome.exe\" \"%1\"
and let system file associations take over.
or as a final workaround, if you cannot, just use python prefix to force python execution instead of relying on file associations:
python appcfg.py -A *project-id* update *project-folder*
(python must be in the path, and appcfg.py must be in the current directory or in PYTHONPATH)
note that the shebang #!/usr/bin/python doesn't help here (on Linux it would have helped)
Another way to repair associations manually is given in another answer of mine
