Modules do not start in Google App Engine Python on Development Server

Question

Problem: I am trying to create a simple app to try Modules in Google App Engine Python on Development Server(Development SDK 1.9.2). But I do not see the modules getting started at runtime(log messages specifying the ports on which they are started).

Logs when I start the app using the Launcher on the development server:

2014-04-13 02:40:47 Running command: "['C:\\Python27\\pythonw.exe', 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\google_appengine\\dev_appserver.py', '--skip_sdk_update_check=yes', '--port=11080', '--admin_port=8003', u'C:\\gaurav\\coding\\python\\androidbackend1']"

INFO     2014-04-13 02:40:56,062 module.py:627] default: "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 12

This Modules doc page at GAE for Python does not mention anything about development server. From another link, I figured out that on development server, all the modules are started at the beginning of app execution and they only differ in the port number of their URLs

Context: I created a new app using the Google Launcher which generates a default "main.py" and "app.yaml". I then copied the "main.py" into a file named "modulem1.py", while retaining "main.py". I copied "app.yaml" into a file named "modulem1.yaml", while retaining the "app.yaml" file. I added the following line to "modulem1.yaml":

module: modulem1

I want to use Google Endpoints API to interact between the web app and Android app. So I need to use module for that and therefore I am trying a small web app with modules

I should be missing something obvious. Appreciate any help

If you are using the Google App Engine Launcher, then you will need to provide the full path to your second yaml file modulem1.yaml

Configuration

Then once you start it, you can view the Logs and see that the modulem1 module has been launched at http://localhost:8080 and the default module has been launched at http://localhost:8081
