How to configure your Python path for using the App3Client

Introduction

After trying to get the App3Client to import correctly on my machine I ran into a few problems. All were missing packages or problems with my PythonPath, so here is how I fixed all of this.

Mac OS X

ImportError: No module named yaml:

I didn't have yaml installed (and the website was down...) so I installed it from the Google package.
To fix:

python /Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/lib/yaml/setup.py install

ImportError involving Google's libraries:

I didn't have my PYTHONPATH environment variable set correctly
To fix (before you start Python in the terminal):

export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine:$PYTHONPATH

Windows

ImportError: No module named yaml:

I didn't have yaml installed (and the website was down...) so I installed it from the Google package.
To fix:

cd "C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\lib\yaml\ "
python setup.py install
