Using Requests module in Google App Engine



I want to use the requests module in Google App Engine Python Runtime Environment.


requests



Quote from official Google Cloud docs:



You can use third-party libraries that are pure Python code with no C extensions, by copying the library into your application directory. If the third-party library is already built-in, bundled with the runtime, you can use the library without copying it into your app.



Third party libraries must be implemented as pure Python code with no C extensions. If copied to your application directory, they count towards file quotas because the library is uploaded to App Engine along with your application code.



requests isn't bundled with GAE, so I added it into my application folder according to the instructions.


requests



requests required a few other modules that don't come with GAE, so I added all of them to my application folder:


requests


certifi


chardet


idna


urllib3



Another problem came up. My request goes to the Stack Exchange API, which uses HTTPS. Here's the error:


SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.stackexchange.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /2.2/1?site=stackoverflow (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",))



The ssl module is built into the GAE Python runtime, so I put the following in app.yaml:


ssl


app.yaml


libraries:
- name: webapp2
version: latest

- name: ssl
version: latest



It didn't work. I got the same error as before. I copied the SSL module folder into my application directory and did import ssl in main.py, but now it throws an exception asking for yet another module to be installed:


import ssl


main.py


File "/Users/williamqin/Projects/stackpromo/ssl/__init__.py", line 61, in <module>
import _ssl2 # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: No module named _ssl2



I searched all over the web for the _ssl2 Python module, but I couldn't find it anywhere!


_ssl2



How do I properly use the requests module in Google App Engine?

Arduino Mega cannot recieve any sketches, stk500_recv() programmer is not responding

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Arduino Mega cannot recieve any sketches, stk500_recv() programmer is not responding Yesterday we were trying to update the firmware of our 3D-printer a Tevo Tarantula i3 The printer was running Marlin 3D Printer Firmware. We installed a new module a TL-Touch Sensor, a chinese copy of the Bl-Touch an auto bedleveling touch sensor for a 3D printer. After re-configurating a new version of the firmware for our setup in the Arduino IDE we went on with uploading the sketch to the Arduino Mega that was controling our 3D printer. Before we started uploading we made sure the right COM-port was selected in the Arduino IDE and that also the right type of Arduino was selected. The Arduino Mega 2260. Then we started with compiling the firmware and then uploading it to the Mega, Somewhere in between that moment the IDE freezed and crashed. As a response we removed the USB cable that was connected from the PC uploading the firmware onto the Arduino Mega, (This was a st...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Visual Studio Code: How to configure includePath for better IntelliSense results so I am a complete beginner to using Visual Studio Code and I have no clue what I am doing. I've searched around (maybe not enough), but I cant find just a simple explanation for someone like me on how to configure the c_cpp_properties.json file that I am redirected to whenever I click on the yellow lightbulb next to a line that is underlined with a green squiggle. Lightbulb example c_cpp_properties.json I just want to know what to put in the .json to make IntelliSense work properly This question has answers that may be good or bad; the system has marked it active so that they can be reviewed. 2 Answers 2 From: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp Below you can see that the MinGW C++ include path has been added to browse.path for Windows: { "name": "Win32...

C++ virtual function: Base class function is called instead of derived

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP C++ virtual function: Base class function is called instead of derived I have following code snippet: using namespace std; class base { public: virtual void print(char a){ std::cout<<" Base "<<std::endl;} }; class derived :public base { public: void print(floata) {std::cout<<" Derived "<<std::endl;} }; int main() { base* d = new derived; d->print(1.5); return 0; } Output is "base" Why output is coming from base function and not from derived one By clicking "Post Your Answer", you acknowledge that you have read our updated terms of service, privacy policy and cookie policy, and that your continued use of the website is subject to these policies.
