In which directory do files get downloaded when using download_data command in gae

Question

I am following the instructions at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata to download data from google app engine. The data gets successfully downloaded (per the python output) but I am not able to find the file on the filesystem.

E.g., For the following command, I get success but I can't find bulkloader.yaml in my computer. I have tried microsoft (Win 7) inbuilt search, google-desktop search, but I get 0 results. C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine>python appcfg.py create_bulkloader_config --filename=bulkloader.yaml --url=http://appname.appspot.com/remote_api

Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Assuming that all worked, the file should be in the same directory from which you started the command appcfg.py. the default directory of command prompt windows is something like C:\Documents and Settings\User. Try to take a look there or restart command from a directory of your choice.

edit: in your case the file is probably in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine
