Flask extension that serves static file handlers in Google App Engine app.yaml files

flask-gae-static

Flask extension for Google App Engine that serves static file handlers from app.yaml files.

Inspired by Andreas H. Kelch's app_server project.

Usage

Install with pip install flask-gae-static. Use with eg:

from flask import Flask
import flask_gae_static

app = Flask(...)
flask_gae_static.init_app(app)
...

flask-gae-static also includes a custom URL route converter that supports regular expressions. After calling init_app(), you can use it with regex inside a variable route part, eg:

@app.route('/<regex("(abc|def)"):letters>')
def handle(letters):
  ...

Known issues

• flask-gae-static currently only overrides Flask's built in static file support if a static handler's URL exactly matches the Flask app's static_url_path. If the static handler URL is a regexp that overlaps with it, Flask's static_url_path handling will still take precedence.

Development

After cloning the repository, set up a local virtualenv with:

python3 -m venv local
source local/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Run tests with:

python -m unittest discover
