What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. base.html indicates '/static/styles.css' as linked. The archive does not contain '/static' 2. app.yaml does not show any static_dir: 3. Application works! But, how does it get the 'styles.css' ?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

You are right, the example shows /static/styles.css but doesn't provide it.

I guess they just left it out. The browser just ignores that it is missing. You could make one of your own.

This example does not separate the concerns . Can't we keep a separate Models.py ? It will the beginners in better coding style.

Speaking of missing files, also the folders:

/greetings /websites

are missing in the ZIP file, while they are visible in the online source section: http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine- samples/source/browse/trunk/django_example#django_example/templates
