We already created the application root folder, the same folder we installed the virtual environment in. Django provides a script that builds a standard application layout called project, also providing some default content for the configuration file. To start a new project within the application root, we issue the following at the command line:

django/bin/django-admin.py startproject notes

We should now have a folder called notes inside our application root containing a Python module called wsgi.py we need to be aware of, as we will use it inside the app.yaml file.

As we already know, to create a new App Engine application, we need to provide an app.yaml file. We can pick any of the app.yaml files from the previous chapters as a base, and then rewrite it as follows:

application: the_registered_application_ID
version: 2
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: yes

handlers:
- url: /static
  static_dir: static

- url: /.*
  script: notes.wsgi...
