gae-init-babel is the easiest way to start new applications on Google App Engine using Flask, Bootstrap, Babel and tons of other cool features.

The latest version is always accessible from: http://babel.gae-init.appspot.com

Visit the docs page for more information, where you can also find a detailed tutorial on how to build a phonebook application.

$ cd /path/to/project-name/main
$ ./run.py -s

To test it visit http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

To watch for changes of your *.less & *.coffee files and compile them automatically to *.css & *.js run in another bash:

$ ./run.py -w

For a complete list of commands:

$ ./run -h

Before deploying make sure that the app.yaml and config.py are up to date and you ran the run.py script to minify all the static files:

$ ./run.py -m
$ appcfg.py update .
