Google App Engine cannot find gdata module

gdata, google-app-engine, google-data-api, macos, python

Solution

Your .bashrc is not known to Google App Engine. Make sure the `gdata` directory (with all its proper contents) is under your application's main directory!

See this article, particularly (and I quote):

To use this library with your Google App Engine application, simply place the library source files in your application's directory, and import them as you usually would. The source directories you need to upload with your application code are src/gdata and src/atom. Then, be sure to call the `gdata.alt.appengine.run_on_appengine` function on each instance of a gdata.service.GDataService object. There's nothing more to it than that!

Problem

I can run a simple "Hello World" Google App Engine application on localhost with no problems. However, when I add the line "import gdata.auth" to my Python script I get "ImportError: No module named gdata.auth". I have installed the gdata module and added the following line to my .bashrc: ``` export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ ``` Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks. EDIT: The strange thing is that if I run python from a shell and type "import gdata.auth" I do not get an error.
