Google App Engine performs different from its loca

Question

The following function will extract URLs form Google search result. It works well in dev_appserver(localhost) but when I deployed it on Google App Engine it show some Error.

Program:

def googleSearch(keyword):
    from re import findall
    from urllib2 import build_opener
    from urllib import quote, unquote
    urlregex = r'<a[ ]href="/url\?q=(http://.+?)[&]'
    searchURL = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=' + quote(keyword, safe = '') # https will exclude Cached results
    #Google
    opener = build_opener()
    opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]
    pagesource = opener.open(searchURL).read()
    result = findall(urlregex, pagesource)
    print result
    resultlist = []
    for url in result:
        resultlist.append(unquote(url))
    resultlist = sorted(set(resultlist), key=resultlist.index)
    return resultlist

GAE Error:

Internal Server Error

The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation.

Did any one know solution for this problem.

Answer 1

Try using old_dev_appserver.py instead of dev_appserver.py.

Answer 2

It's probably because Google's datastore indexes aren't updated yet. Wait a little while and it should work. Google explains it here

Note: The Datastore Indexes may take some time to generate before your application is available. You will receive a NeedIndexError when accessing your app if the indexes are still in the process of being generated. This is a transient error for the example, so try a little later if at first you receive this exception.
