  1. POGoogle App Engine w/ Django - InboundMailHandler appears to only work once
    text
    copied!<p>I'm writing an app for Google App Engine (with Python and Django) that needs to receive email and add some elements of the received email messages to a datastore. I am a very novice programmer.</p> <p>The problem is that the script I specify to handle incoming email appears to only run once (until the script is touched).</p> <p>Sending a test email from the local admin console to, say, 'test@downloadtogo.appspotmail.com' causes an entity to be added to the local datastore correctly.</p> <p>Sending a second, third, etc. test email has no effect - the entity is not added.</p> <p>'Touching' <code>handle_incoming_email.py</code> (which I understand to mean adding or deleting a space and then saving), <em>then</em> sending another test email, will cause the entity to be added correctly.</p> <p>app.yaml:</p> <pre> application: downloadtogo version: 1 runtime: python api_version: 1 handlers: - url: /static static_dir: static - url: /.* script: main.py - url: /_ah/mail/.+ script: handle_incoming_emaril.py login: admin inbound_services: - mail </pre> <p>handle_incoming_email.py:</p> <pre><code> from downloadtogo.models import Email import logging, email import wsgiref.handlers import exceptions from google.appengine.api import mail from google.appengine.ext import webapp from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app from google.appengine.ext.webapp.mail_handlers import InboundMailHandler class MailHandler(InboundMailHandler): def receive(self, message): email = Email() email.from_address = message.sender email.put() def main(): application = webapp.WSGIApplication([MailHandler.mapping()], debug=True) wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application) main() </code></pre> <p>models.py:</p> <pre> <code> from appengine_django.models import BaseModel from google.appengine.ext import db class Email(db.Model): from_address = db.StringProperty() to_address = db.StringProperty() body = db.StringProperty(multiline=True) added_on = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True) </code></pre>
