How to run the images sample and Unable to find the Python PIL library?

[scheung38]

Tried to open at the python-docs-samples/images level i PyCharm:

/api
/guestbook

But not sure how to run it?

When trying to run main.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/seb/PycharmProjects/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/appengine/standard/images/api/main.py", line 23, in <module>
    from google.appengine.api import images
ImportError: No module named google.appengine.api

Also Unable to find PIL? Even though it is installed with pip?

I did noticed that there is no GAE as its External Libraries, so best practice to open another new Google App Engine app within PyCharm and copy and paste these two directories? Do I need both the /api and /guestbook to run? How to run as there are two main.py in each folder?

Copy and pasted the image/api and image/guestbook into newly created GAE project in PyCharm
but upon running:

google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.errors.AppConfigNotFoundError: "/Users/seb/PycharmProjects/myphotosharing" is a directory but does not contain app.yaml or app.yml

Hi @scheung38!

There are two separate images API samples.

• /appengine/standard/images/api is a basic sample showing the functionality of the images API.
• /appengine/standard/images/guestbook is a sample that shows the images API in the context of the guestbook example.

You'll need to open and run them separately.

Thanks Jon there any examples showing how to load and persist more than one image as it is limited to just one image that can be loaded?

@scheung38 not direct examples, but you can upload as many blobs as you want and use them with the images API. Just provide a different blob key.

A different blob key for each image upload?

Also blobstore and ndb are similar ?

Yes.
