The instructions here are for a multi-process version of the Python 2.7 runtime currently in alpha. To use the stable version of the runtime, follow the documentation at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/ instead.
Please refer to the docs on how to use and customize this runtime.
By default the multi-process version of the runtime is launched via the Gunicorn webserver and is configured to use gevent-based concurrency and a number of processes equal to the number of CPU cores available.
This can be changed by creating a file called gunicorn.conf.py in your
application's root directory, which will override the default
gunicorn.conf.py included with this project. Refer the gunicorn documentation for details.
As this is a alpha product, some functionality has not yet been implemented.
Notably:
- Handlers in
app.yamlthat are flagged aslogin: requiredorlogin: adminare not supported. Attemping to access these handlers will result in a 404 as the handlers will not be registered. threadsafe: falseinapp.yamlis ignored. Your application must either be threadsafe or you much change the gunicorn configuration to use sync workers.
There may be other features that work on the current Python runtime and are not implemented or not functional in this version. Please open an issue on Github for any you encounter.
