Fix for Google AppEngine “ImportError: cannot import name os_compat” on Linux « FileFormat.Info

This is a permissions problems. Probably because I like to install software as root in /usr/local, rather than in my /home directory. The solution is to make it readable for everyone:

cd /usr/local/google_appengine
sudo chmod -R ugoa+r *

I would recommend Google switching from a .zip file to a .tar.gz file (which can have specific permissions in it).

I ran into this problem, while trying to work on a Django-nonrel project.
