I'm trying to run the sample code https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client/tree/master/samples/appengine from the Google API Python Client on the Google Cloud platform. After starting the test app I'm seeing this error:
ImportError: No module named httplib2
I checked the cloud env provided and it has the lib available

I can import it in the python command line:
Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar 1 2015, 12:57:24)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import httplib2
>>>
It must be installed but GAE is not recognizing it.
I fixed it myself by putting httplib2 in the engine dir (the dir where app.yaml exists).
