Google App Engine UTF-8/Ascii Codec Issue

So... Recently, I encountered an error using Google's App Engine SDK for Python.

Creating a static server in Go for Google App Engine

Admittedly, fighting through the jungles of a new programming language will always be a challenge, and although new programming languages attempt to be as easy-to-understand and usable as possible, unless you're using a product like Visual Studio - where "programming" consists of drag and drop, double click and a few lines of code - it's not going to be easy.

Google recently announced the inclusion of Go into their Google App Engine service, but porting code from one language to another will be an uphill battle. Particularly porting Python code to Go. Would that even be possible?

Both programming languages are fundamentally different, and follow different paradigms, but both can perform the same task of serving data online.

Since Go is so different to Python, it's best to start from the very beginning.

One of the basic necessities of all web servers is a static server.

Google App Engine Launcher Settings

Recently, I did a little bit of maintenance on my computer (aka wiped the entire hard disk and changed the partitioning table to GPT) and so files here and there were lost, shortcuts weren't pointing to the right places, and unfortunately, Google App Engine Launcher failed to respond to these changes and I was unable to point my application to the right places..

So after a little bit of searching, I have found the place where Google keeps the settings for its "Google App Engine Launcher":

C:\Users\[Your Username Here]\Google\google_appengine_projects.ini

You can replace portions of the path for your applications in the file located here.
Save the file and reload the App Engine Launcher to allow for the program to reload the file and reflect upon the changed file path of your application.
If done correctly, everything should work fine again!

The application that's still red is an unfortunate part of wiping out an entire hard drive.
