To run the development server you just need to open a terminal, go to the App Engine directory and run:

./dev_appserver.py [SRC_FOLDER_WHERE_THE_app.yaml_IS]

Also add to you $PYTHONPATH your Google App Engine folder running:

To upload the application to the production server you need to go to the app engine folder (/home/hhkaos/Apps/google_appengine) in my case, and execute this command

python appcfg.py update [SRC_FOLDER_WHERE_THE_app.yaml_IS]
