Google App Engine

How I started up Google App Engine for the first time:

In /tmp/googleappengine [where I had unzipped SDK]
./dev_appserver.py /home/peter/appengine/helloworld/

Luckily, I already have Python 2.5.1 installed.
Also, /home/peer/appengine/helloworld/ is a directory with a valid YAML file.

Remember, if using a word processor, that sometimes a '.txt' is appended. For example, index.html.txt needs to be renamed to index.html.

Also, important to remember that since I am pointing at Helloworld/ I don't need to specify the program when I start up the server.

So
http://localhost:8080/
connects to helloworld.py
without me specifying further.
