Google App Engine “no module named requests” PyDev

Question

I downloaded and installed requests library for Python 2.7. Using the shell I can make "import requests" and actually use it without problems.

Thing is that when running Google App Engine it can't find it and prompts the error:

ImportError: No module named requests

I'm using PyDev-Eclipse as IDE for my project and tried adding the path (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests) both in

Project > properties > PyDev - PYTHONPATH > External Libraries

and in

Window > preferences > Pydev -Interpreter > Libraries

and none worked! Still having the same issue when trying to run my GAE app

Anyone could help?

Thanks!

Any 3rd party lib you use must be physically included in your project and deployed to appengine. This means it is not sufficient to just install with easy_install or pip

See the docs https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/runtime#Pure_Python
