Question

Is there a way I can use sockets in Google Applications Engine?
I was building an example but whenever I try to use the sockets module the console reports:

**'module' object has no attribute 'socket'.**

Thanks in advance.

No, it does not support sockets.

Have a look at the channel API:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/channel/

The Channel API creates a persistent connection between your application and Google servers, allowing your application to send messages to JavaScript clients in real time without the use of polling

Google app engine,sockets are disabled,what it means

What is/is not supported:

EDIT: Socket support in preview now: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/sockets/
