Don’t call your Django application “site” in Google App Engine

This one had me scratching my head for a while today:

I created a Django application called "site" in my project, and although everything was working perfectly locally with the Google App Engine SDK and Google App Engine Django Helper but when I deployed, I got an ImproperlyConfigured error.

Changing the name of the application fixed the issue.

I'm off to file a bug on this... done: Issue 487.

    Did you try that in purpose or accidentally ? Meaning, is there any list around giving such reservered names for Google apps?


  2. Hey Selcuk,

    I discovered by accident. Searching on the docs and forum, I couldn’t find anything mentioned.

    Not sure if it’s an issue with the Django Helper or with the GAE SDK itself.
