Error Python 2.7 on Google App Engine - Threadsafe cannot be enabled with CGI handler
google-app-engine, python-2.7
Solution
Use `main.application` instead of `main.py` in your app.yaml. You need the former in order to set `threadsafe` to `true`.
Problem
I have tried to move to Python 2.7 from Python 2.5 but I keep getting the same error everytime. I have made a very simple test in Python 2.5 working with the app.yaml file and just one script main.py and it works fine. The script it just a Hello World type to check everythin works fine. app.yaml ``` application: sparepartsfinder version: 1 runtime: python api_version: 1 handlers: - url: /blog script: main.py - url: /blog/new_entry script: main.py ``` main.py ``` from google.appengine.ext import webapp from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' self.response.out.write('Hello, webapp World!') application = webapp.WSGIApplication( [('/', MainPage), ('/blog', MainPage), ('/blog/new_entry',MainPage), ('/blog/archive/.*',MainPage)], debug=True) def main(): run_wsgi_app(application) if __name__ == "__main__": main() ``` When I change to Python 2.7 I follow the documents on the Google App Engine to the letter making the changes in both the app.yaml and main.py script. app.yaml ``` application: sparepartsfinder version: 1 runtime: python27 api_version: 1 threadsafe: true handlers: - url: /blog script: main.py - url: /blog/new_entry script: main.py - url: /blog/archive/.* script: main.py - url: .* script: main.py ``` main.py ``` import webapp2 class MainPage(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.response.out.write('Hello prueba!') app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', MainPage), ('/blog', MainPage), ('/blog/new_entry',MainPage), ('/blog/archive/.*',MainPage)], debug=True) ``` Unfortunately it doesn't work either in local or when I try to upload the new configuration to the Google App Engine. ( I get always the same mistake). I may understand the problem in my machine ( I have both Python 2.5 and 2.7 ) on a Windows XP, but not when I upload.
