Deploy a Python app on Google Cloud

STEPS:

TUTORIALDIR=src/[YOUR_PROJECT_ID]/python_gae_quickstart-2017-11-01-23-03
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples $TUTORIALDIR
cd $TUTORIALDIR/appengine/standard/hello_world
dev_appserver.py $PWD
gcloud app deploy app.yaml --project [YOUR_PROJECT_ID]

The app runs on: https://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID].appspot.com/

Flask App on Google App Engine:

cd $TUTORIALDIR/appengine/standard/flask/tutorial
gcloud app deploy app.yaml --project [YOUR_PROJECT_ID]

Run the Flask app on: https://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID].appspot.com/form
Example: /src/tantal-183814/python_gae_quickstart-2017-11-01-23-03/appengine/standard/flask/tutorial

This example makes use of a web app framework - a web application framework can simplify development by taking care of the details of the interface, letting you focus development effort on your applications features. App Engine includes a simple web application framework called webapp2 - a lightweight framework that allows you quickly build simple web applications for the Python 2.7 runtime.

webapp2 is compatible with the WSGI standard for Python web applications. You don't have to use webapp2 to write Python applications for App Engine. Other web application frameworks, such as Django, work with App Engine, and App Engine supports any Python code that uses the CGI standard. The webapp2 project, by Rodrigo Moraes, started as a fork of the App Engine webapp framework, which was used by the Python 2.5 runtime. webapp2 includes a number of features that make developing web applications easier, such as improved support for URI routing, session management and localization. The Python 2.7 runtime uses webapp2, and the project is maintained externally to App Engine. It is supported, but not maintained, by Google.

For more information about webapp2, see the official documentation.
