Converting a Bottle program to be Google App Engine compatible:

1. Downloaded Google App Engine Python SDK and used google_appengine/dev_appserver.py math_drill/ rather than python3 run.py to build while testing
2. Added from bottle import * in the import statements (I think that fixed something)
3. Added app = Bottle() in order to:
   • Change all of the default @bottle.route() statements to @app.route() because that was causing errors
   • Changed bottle.run() statement to be bottle.run(app=app, server="gae")
4. Created a file app.yaml:
   

   application: math-drill
   version: 1
   runtime: python27 #Python3 not supported, so 2.7 was used
   api_version: 1
   threadsafe: no #One tutorial said to do this, but since threads are not used it probably doesn't matter
   
   handlers:
   - url: /static
     static_dir: static
   
   - url: /.*
     script: run.app #Using run.py causes strange debug output to show up on the webpage
   

5. With that all set up, it was uploaded to GAE using google_appengine/appcfg.py update math_drill/
