\nIf you look through the forums there is a lot of talk about Python 2.5 or Python 2.6 and suggestions to go back to Python 2.5 – that seems not to be the problem at all because it fails in 2.5 as well with the same error.<\/p>\n\nI have carefully reproduced the problem and it is when a non-administrator person tries to run the App Engine Launcher. The fix is to simply make the person an administrative user. And here is the strange thing – once you make the use an “Allow to administer this computer” user and start App Engine once as an the user with admin powers and then log out and take a way admin powers and then log back in – then it works! Crazy.<\/p>\n
\nThis problem is generally reported on Mac OS 10.6 versions.<\/p>\n
\nNow after an hour of debugging and researching, I can get back to recording those “introductory – see how easy this to install” videos :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
One of the more mysterious errors one gets with App Engine is when the application fails to start up with the following error: *** Running dev_appserver with the following flags: –admin_console_server= –port=8080 Python command: \/usr\/bin\/python2.6 Traceback (most recent call last): File “\/Applications\/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app\/Contents\/Resources\/ GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle\/Contents\/Resources\/google_appengine\/ dev_appserver.py”, line 68, in run_file(__file__, globals()) File “\/Applications\/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app\/Contents\/Resources\/ GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle\/Contents\/Resources\/google_appengine \/dev_appserver.py”, line 64, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2816,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707\/revisions\/2816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-chuck.com\/csev-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
