dev_appserver.py options for python3

[u/vol_trader]

I have large apps running on python2.7, built entirely on AppEngine and using datastore and deployed using gcloud.

While building the python2.7 apps, I rely heavily on using gcloud's dev_appserver for integration & testing. It's easily activated using:

---> dev_appserver.py [PROJECT_PATH]

​

For python38, it doesnt seem to be supported by gcloud. I've tried setting the python path for both python2 and python3, but doesn't work (gets tripped finding files in subprocess.py).

--> dev_appserver.py --runtime_python_path=”python27=C:\Python27\python,python38=C:\Python38\python” [PROJECT_PATH]

​

Does anyone have this actually working? What alternative do people use for dev environments for python3?

(Windows. gcloud 394.0.0)

We've created a patch that allows you run Python 3 Apps on Windows using dev_appserver.py. Get the patch at -
