Python-pptx On Google App Engine

According to Google App Engine Third Party Libraries Support, the latest version of lxml supported is 2.3 https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27 And pytho

Solution 1:

App Engine isn't compatible with that library so your best bet if you still want to stick with App Engine services is to use Managed VMs: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/managed-vms/

This will let you access all the App Engine services but give you more flexibility with installing libraries.

Solution 2:

I had the same problem. I wanted to use Python-pptx with GAE standard environment but wasn't able because GAE standard doesn't support Pillow. I migrated to GAE flexible environment and it works perfectly. Took a few hours to adjust my code for the flexible environment but its no big deal.
