i'm trying to follow this explanation: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata#Downloading_and_Uploading_All_Data

but when i add to my app.yaml:

- url: /remote_api
  script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
  login: admin

and trying to update my app, i'm getting:

Error parsing yaml file: Invalid object: threadsafe cannot be enabled with CGI handler: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py

Error.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

BTW, this is my app.yaml:

application: XXXX-my-application-name
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /static
  static_dir: static

- url: /remote_api
  script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
  login: admin

- url: /favicon.ico
  static_files: static/favicon.ico
  upload: static/favicon.ico

- url: /.*
  script: main.app  # a WSGI application in the main module's global scope

libraries:
- name: django
  version: "1.3"

Try something like

- url: /remote_api
  script: google.appengine.ext.remote_api.handler.application
  login: admin

Which would use the WSGI application instead of the main() method CGI style.

Unless you are doing something VERY special you should not change the remote url.

just put the following in the app.yaml:

builtins:
- remote_api: on
