Running App Engine From Behind A Proxy

0

So, I am running Python 2.6.1 on my computer, and just installed google App Engine.

As soon as i click on the App Engine Launcher, it gives an error dialog box and asks me to check the GoogleAppEngineLauncher.exe file for more details.

I have appended the log file below:

   File "GoogleAppEngineLauncher.py", line 42, in <module>
   File "wx\_core.pyc", line 7913, in __init__
   File "wx\_core.pyc", line 7487, in _BootstrapApp
   File "launcher\app.pyc", line 58, in OnInit
   File "launcher\app.pyc", line 152, in _VersionCheck
   File "urllib.pyc", line 82, in urlopen
   File "urllib.pyc", line 190, in open
   File "urllib.pyc", line 338, in open_http
   File "urllib.pyc", line 351, in http_error
   File "urllib.pyc", line 702, in http_error_407
   File "urllib.pyc", line 714, in retry_proxy_http_basic_auth
   File "urllib.pyc", line 773, in get_user_passwd
   File "urllib.pyc", line 782, in prompt_user_passwd
   EOFError: EOF when reading a line

From the file, I get the feeling that It's about giving the right details about Proxy.

I have checked up http://code.google.com/p/google-appengine-wx-launcher/issues/detail?id=17
and http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=544.

It seems that it is about making some edits to some particular .py file so that I can enter my proxy settings, and username/password.

I have also come across few suggestions telling me to set the proxy in environment variables at the command prompt - but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions, please?

What I did when I ran it under a proxy was, I added the environment variable "http_proxy" and set it to the proxy I was using (172.30.1.1) to my list of environment variables (go to My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Environment variables.

I use Windows 7.

Thanks Ashwin. I have done that.

Before doing that:
App Engine Launches, but terminates as soon as it does with a dialog box.
 Could run locally using command prompt
* Eclipse would run - but neither locally nor deploy

After doing the variables thing:
App Engine Runs and can run the web app locally.
 Deploying is still a trouble.
* COmmand Prompt STILL can run locally but cannot deploy.

The problem, as seems to be on Google Code Issue 4849, seems to be with a urllib2 file : but I cannot figure out a way to use that patch!

Are you sure you are using the latest version of GAE?

1.6.6 - thats the one I found on Google's website. I understand the whole problem with init.py should have been resolved on an update.

If you are behind a proxy that requires authentication - and you are able to deploy - it probably means that you have an updated init.py file. Could you send it over? You could host it on a dropbox public folder or something.

If possible, you should upgrade to Python 2.7

Do you mean init.py? All my init.py files seem to be empty except for comments. Oh, and I am not behind a proxy right now, unfortunately.
