python installing Google App Engine through pip

Question

I tried to follow askubuntu answer and install Google App Engine module for python using pip. This seems cleaner for me than downloading raw files and adding PATH export to bashrc. So I tried: ``` tomasz@tomasz-lenovo-ideapad-Y530:~$ sudo pip install appengine.py [sudo] password for tomasz: Downloading/unpacking appengine.py Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement appengine.py No distributions at all found for appengine.py Storing complete log in /home/tomasz/.pip/pip.log ``` and it failed. I don't know what's wrong, because the `appengine` module is available: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/appengine. Can anyone point me what am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Try using

```
    sudo pip install appengine
```

instead. Basically, don't add the .py at the end.
