Unable to install on Google App Engine

[krutijan1]

Hello,

I am struggling to make it work on google app engine deployment and/or local google devapp_server.py. It fails by the required module not found. In clean python 3 virtual env it runs smoothly.

    return self.load_wsgiapp()
  File "/private/var/folders/sb/b543pgd17kv9rtth8fn8cxs40000gn/T/tmpV2v7jH/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/app/wsgiapp.py", line 39, in load_wsgiapp
    return util.import_app(self.app_uri)
  File "/private/var/folders/sb/b543pgd17kv9rtth8fn8cxs40000gn/T/tmpV2v7jH/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/util.py", line 358, in import_app
    mod = importlib.import_module(module)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.6_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'freshdesk.api'; 'freshdesk' is not a package

Steps to reproduce: install google cloud sdk locally:

• curl https://dl.google.com/dl/cloudsdk/channels/rapid/downloads/google-cloud-sdk-283.0.0-- darwin-x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz
• ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud components install app-engine-python-extras app-engine-python cloud-datastore-emulator --quiet
• create file requirements.txt with dependency python-freshdesk
• create file app.yaml with content

  
  runtime: python37
  service: myservices

entrypoint: gunicorn -b :$PORT main:app --preload

- run local server with ./google-cloud-sdk/bin/dev_appserver.py --port=8080 --enable_console=true app.yaml
- after hitting address localhost:8080 module is not loaded

Do you have please any ideas what this problem could be?

Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the detailed report. I don't know off the top of my head.

I'm going to try this myself on GAE and do some debugging. Will get back to you soon!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I had created in my project root folder file called freshdesk.py for testing purposes, which I think was the root cause of this issue. The module loader was trying to load the file instead of the module. After removing it started to work as expected. I am sorry for not informing you sooner, so you do not have to spend time on this. Thanks a lot again.

That's great to hear. No need to apologise :-)
