I'm following the step-by-step instructions to run it on my google app engine account, but I get an error when I run "fab deploy." It asks me for my email and does a bunch of stuff, but then this happens:

Zipping ziplibs. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/fabric/main.py", line 712, in main args, kwargs

  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/fabric/tasks.py", line 327, in execute

    zip_file.write(os.path.join(dir_name, name), os.path.join(dir_name[len(common_base):], name))

  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/zipfile.py", line 1024, in write
    fp = open(filename, "rb")

IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory

Any idea what the problem is?

It is attempting to zip a directory in the fabfile. You don't need to zip the contents of an app to deploy it. Try deploying using the SDK directly with:

$ python2.5 appcfg.py -A appname update .

replace 'appname' with the name of the app you registered.

Try taking the ziplibs(env.deploy_path) call out. It's not strictly necessary.

Thanks! That worked. I get "Error: Server Error" when visiting my appspot url though (drpepecss.appspot.com)

Also, getting this error after successful deployment:

  Completed update of app: drpepecss, version: 1
