Is Go faster than Python on Google App Engine?

How do I make Google App Engine detect Python 2.7 which is already installed?

• Whenever I open Google App Engine it gives me an error that Python is required and it is already installed. How to fix this ?

• Answer:

  If you can update your question to include things like your operating system and version, how you've installed Python 2.7, and so on, we might be of more help. If you've installed it on a Windows machine, there are some environment settings you can add to make Python available on your path. Specifically, set up PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH to point to your installation folder, such as C:\PYTHON27 ... You can set these under Advanced System Settings > Environment, depending on your version of Windows. If you're on a Mac, it sounds like Python just isn't in your path. Mavericks should ship with 2.7 already, but if you're on an older version, you may only have 2.6. I'd probably install 2.7 via homebrew and make sure its installation path is earlier in my PATH environment than the system-installed Python. If you're on Linux, chances are you've already got Python 2.7 so you shouldn't have to alter anything at all. If you still have problems, reply to this message with some extra details and I can try to help get you set up.
