Can this run on Google App Engine? about python-firebase HOT 14 CLOSED

@kevando, appengine blocks the use of multiprocessing or any form of threading that is not called by the deferred and the task queue package. The python-firebase-gae package doesn't use multiprocessing, instead it uses the deferred package to perform multiple subroutine.

pip install python-firebase-gae

Hi @CarMoreno, I haven't tested it, but the python-firebase-gae package should be working on 2.7. It was coded in py 2.7.

hello, is any workaround for this. I got the same issue downloading and building code from master branch. Thanks.

Hello. Any workaround?

from python-firebase.

Has anybody had a solution for this?

from python-firebase.

Hi. I ended up using Requests and call the Firebase HTTP API manually!

@nckh Kudos for figuring out a workaround.

Hey @b4oshany I tried using your fork and I am still getting this error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

ImportError: cannot import name _args_from_interpreter_flags

from python-firebase.

Wow. @b4oshany I don't know what you said to help me understand, but I finally got it working! Thanks so much. Appengine is a tricky one.

One last question. Is it possible to create some sort of listener with a python appengine server? I want my python server to execute a function everytime there is a specific change to the firebase data (similar to how I would in node). Or would it make more sense to just set up a cron that queues firebase every minute or so.

from python-firebase.

Yeah, python-firebase-gae should be merged somehow to import either lib depending on the environment. Perhaps something like this in async.py could be a staring point:

if os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE'):
    if os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE').startswith('Development') or os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE').startswith('Google'):
        from google.appengine.ext import deferred
    else:
        import multiprocessing

from python-firebase.

@bogdanr I had to change the async function and other functions that are within the python-firebase package to support app engine deferred module. Hence, the reason why I created a separate package instead.

from python-firebase.

@kevando It is possible to do so, but setting up a task queue (Cron Job) is easier and more convenient.

Hi @b4oshany it's amazing you have done. Right now my gae has a instance of Python 2.7. Your branch would work on Python 2.7???
