Google App Engine Managed VMs Python Custom Runtime Hello World

This sample demonstrates using Python on Google App Engine Managed VMs with a custom runtime.

This sample does not use the standard App Engine python runtime, but instead uses a custom runtime. The custom runtime ensures that any requirements defined in requirements.txt are automatically installed.

Running & deploying the sample

To run the sample locally, use a virtualenv:

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate.sh
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python main.py

To deploy the sample, use the Google Cloud SDK

$ gcloud preview app deploy app.yaml
