Google app engine Python issue

Question

I developed app using html5 and php. Since php is not yet fully supported on google app engine I would like to change my php code to python because I have 8 lines of php code. Problem is, I'm total noob with python. I'm used to make index.html and that run fine with php, but when I try to run index.html with python then I get blank page. Can someone explain how to run html5 document with python on google app engine. This is what I tried:

html = """ here goes my site """; import webapp2 class MainHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.render(html); app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([ ('/', MainHandler) ], debug=True)

Have you looked at the tutorial, specifically where it covers templates? cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/… — Ken Kinder

I checked the GAE python start tutorial. Maybe your code

self.render(html);

should be:

self.response.write("Hello world!");

I don't think the class webapp2.RequestHandler has the render function, because I've tried your code on GAE's cloud play ground, it raises an error:

AttributeError: 'MainHandler' object has no attribute 'render'

And if you want to render a template, it should be used like this:

...... template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('index.html') self.response.write(template.render(template_values))

Documentation is here

I made folder 'template' and placed index.html into it, then I made the following: import webapp2 JINJA_ENVIRONMENT = jinja2.Environment( loader=jinja2.FileSystemLoader(os.path.dirname('template')), extensions=['jinja2.ext.autoescape']) class MainHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): template = JINJA_ENVIRONMENT.get_template('index.html'); self.response.write(template.render(template_values)); app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([ ('/', MainHandler) ], debug=True) and it's still not working
Never add code in your comments, update your opening post with new code and complete error please
