I have a GAE application that I want to integrate with Sendgrid. I've followed the instructions (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/sendgrid) on how to install Sendgrid and everything works fine in my local dev environment.
However, when I push my application to GAE and run it, I immediately receive the following 500 Server Error:
Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds.
Even with debug on, that's all I get. But digging into the logs at GAE I can see the source of the problem:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/base/data/home/runtimes/python27/python27_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/runtime/wsgi.py", line 240, in Handle handler = _config_handle.add_wsgi_middleware(self._LoadHandler()) File "/base/data/home/runtimes/python27/python27_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/runtime/wsgi.py", line 299, in _LoadHandler handler, path, err = LoadObject(self._handler) File "/base/data/home/runtimes/python27/python27_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/runtime/wsgi.py", line 85, in LoadObject obj = ____import____(path[0]) File "/base/data/home/apps/....wsgi_app.py", line 16, in import sendgrid File "/base/data/home/apps/..../sendgrid/____init____.py", line 7, in from .client import SendGridAPIClient File "/base/data/home/apps/..../sendgrid/client.py", line 1, in import python_http_client ImportError: No module named python_http_client
So I went into sendgrid/client.py and commented out the following line of code...
import python_http_client
Once I do that, I can run my app without receiving the 500 Server Error but the test email I tried to send wasn't delivered (although I didn't receive any error messages when trying to initiate it).
It doesn't seem right that I need to comment out a line of the Sendgrid code to make the import work and I can't figure out why others that are running Sendgrid with Python and GAE aren't having the same problem. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
