I am trying to create a web application using python on the google cloud platform. I have followed Google's quick-start guide and completed it.
App currently just prints out text
However, I am struggling to figure out a way to create a gui. I am aware of the python modules tk and tkinter and I have tried to use those with no success. I also saw the warning in the Google Cloud Console about how installed modules only exist for the current instance of the app - but even when installing the module directly before deploying the app - it still throws an import error.
I did some research and followed this guide: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/tools/using-libraries-python-27
Assuming I didn't miss any steps - would this guide solve my problem? Or is there a better way to create a GUI?
Any suggestions are encouraged. Thanks
App Engine is web oriented service. Read about it in the overview and the appropriate gui there would be a web based one.
If you want to have a remote server that will server graphical applications look closer at Google Cloud Compute Engine where you can have a VM instance, where you can install and run any application.

I had created a web application.Front end is created by ReactJS and back-end(server side)is created by Django framework,
Here I am using PostgreSQL database.
The application is successfully running on my local machine by running both python manage.py runserver and npm start at a time in my terminal.
I need to deploy my entire app on google cloud using compute engine.
I already purchased a domain. I don't know how to connect these 2 platforms(Django and ReactJS) in cloud. if anyone knows deploy Django go as server-side and react as front-end in GooleCloud (using compute engine)
Even though your question is a bit broad, I think you may find these resources useful:
Getting started with Django [1]. You can compare the 4 main options to use Django in GCP.
Django Certified by Bitnami [2] is a ready to use pre-configured Django environment that deploys all the Compute Engine resources you need.
You can find more information on the Bitnami Django Stack For Google Cloud Platform here [3]
You could start using one of the pre-configured solutions and customize the VM by installing what you need afterwards. Or start with a blank VM and configure everything from scratch [4].
In a more general sense, this guide “Serving websites” [5] is a very good read to better understand all the options you have within Google Cloud Platform to host a website; more specifically, the section “Using virtual machines with Compute Engine” [6].
I’m assuming that you already know how to get Django and ReactJS work together, as you did it already in your local machine. I hope these articles are useful for you.

I am trying to follow the instructions on this page, and they are working great, until the part where I deploy from my Google App Engine Launcher. When I click deploy I should see something like this:
But instead, I see something like this:
and the end result is that my app doesn't get deployed to xxxxxxx.appspot.com, it redirects me to http://localhost:8080/?code=4/EfmizPdAPVDgoSInA8mS1KVOvQTkWX4ziFnEpG3XKxA#
I'm a begginer with this kind of tech, please, any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?
Found the answer here. In my case, what worked was to first disable the app in the App Engine Launcher, and only then hit deploy. First time I tried, it authenticated, then second time I deployed, it deployed successfully. Thanks Arnie.
In case, I post his other suggestions:
1) remember to give your google id access to less secure apps.
2) remember to go to appspot.com or https://appengine.google.com/ and accept terms and conditions. Your project should also be active on https://console.developers.google.com/project
3) use correct versions of python and google app engine SDK
4) Before hitting deploy button on google app engine stop the app from running on your local host. It will NOT deploy while it is running locally on local host.
I have develop a simple app to learn Django rest framework and then uploaded it into Google app engine. But each time I try to access my data it shows me "no module name rest_framework". it works ok if I dont use Google App engine and stop working if I use (both local install or deploy the codes). I am using django 1.4 and using Cloud SQL. Can anyone please tell me what might be the problem?

A bit late but might help someone else, I was also trying to get a solution for this error then I came across this link which has all the thirdparty apps, google app engine support. It doesn't have rest_framework.
So a as a solution you will have to copy the third-party library's pure-Python source code into your application's source code.
here is a solution in detail.
Hope that helps!
I have developed one example project in django1.4 & python 2.7, I want to deploy it on google app engine,
but how to configure my project as per App Engine we didn't get.
We have a site running on google app engine, but it is including with all html,js.
How do we configure a database on google app engine to deploy our django project?
Possibly the best option is to use Django Non-Rel. It's the only way (that I know of) to use the Django ORM (the django database interface) on Google App Engine without using Google's costly cloud SQL service. To do this, you'll need to use a customized version of Django and import several more libraries. It's a small project to get it up and running, but it's worth the effort. More information can be found on this website:
http://django-nonrel.org/
Note, that even though django-nonrel allows you to use the Django database interface, it will not allow you to use certain SQL features, such as joins. If you need joins, then your best option would be to use Google App Engine + Google Cloud SQL. Documentation for that is here.
Regarding the comments:
Yes, it can run on windows, I run it on Windows.
Also, the site allbuttonspressed.com is old and out of date, use the
one above for information.
I've been working on a existing project at a new company and one of the problems we're running into is Javascript code duplication. We're working in Google App Engine, and I have heard of the Django media generator asset manager which seems like it could solve some of our problems. However, after reading through the docs on that page and pages like this one on running Django in Google App Engine, I'm not sure if it is even possible to run django-mediagenerator on Google App engine.
Is it still possible to use django-mediagenerator on Google App Engine? Has the project gone stale? Is there some other media generator that I should be using in app engine?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Django-mediagenerator is developed with app-engine in mind, as you can see in this blog post.
So : yes you can go with it ;-)
As an alternative I've had some success using webassets as an asset manager in Google App Engine, although because of the limitations of the production environment its a command line process before deployment.
There's a basic app engine example in the repository, so it's fairly quick to setup.
