Google App engine support

[shayanb]

Has anyone tried to port this sdk to Google App engine? is there any plans to support app engine?

[shayanb]

I put together a fork that works on Appengine: https://github.com/shayanb/blocktrail-sdk-python

hmm, I thought the requests package would work on GAE, maybe I should switch the sdk to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/urllib3 instead, which does claim to support GAE

[shayanb]

yeah it might be a bit tricky to have a universal library that works on all platforms, for the fork I used from google.appengine.api import urlfetch that is just specific to GAE, but I've used urllib2 before for the same issue and it worked fine, urlib3 could work too.

try:
    from urllib2 import urlopen
except ImportError:
    from urllib.request import urlopen

[shayanb]

using client.transaction(tx) , it sometimes ends up with this error on GAE:

'_URLFetchResult' object has no attribute 'reason' : {}

Any ideas?

p.s I'm using from google.appengine.api import urlfetch

[shayanb]

@rubensayshi they are the double-spends (malleability) tx-hashes that fail to reply.

[rubensayshi]

can you give me one of the failing TXs? if you don't want to publicly link one then mail me ruben@blocktrail.com

requests-toolbelt is helpful to get requests working on App Engine: https://github.com/sigmavirus24/requests-toolbelt
