Project Directory Does Not Contain app.yaml

I'm following the instructions here https://console.developers.google.com/start/appengine

I've downloaded and unzipped the project file from that page - it's the python and flask one. When I get to the instruction dev_appserver.py appending-try-python-flask it gives the error.

google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.errors.AppConfigNotFoundError: "." is a directory but does not contain app.yaml or app.yml

It most certainly does contain an app.yaml file. It looks like this.

application: hello-flask-app-engine
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: yes

handlers:
- url: .*
  script: main.app

libraries:
- name: jinja2
  version: "2.6"
- name: markupsafe
  version: "0.15"

Unlike this post Uploading a static project to google app engines mine doesn't have any skip files lines to delete.

There is a README.md that mostly follows the Google Dev web page, except that instead of downloading the project from that page it instructs to git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-python-flask-skeleton.git and that doesn't exactly match the zip file I downloaded.

The requirement.txt file says Run 'pip install -r requirements.txt -t lib/' but Windows 7 says pip is not a recognized command.

Is my app.yaml not correct? Why would it say it doesn't exist?

probably you use py-charm, you need to add to configuration in line 'Working directory' the path of project like: C:\Users\user\Desktop\projects\water

Simply closing the command prompt window and reopening it made it work. I don't know how or why.

You may be mis-typing appengine-try-python-flask (the real name) as appending-try-python-flask (which is what you show in your question).

If that's not the case, can you please show the effects of dir appengine-try-python-flask and dir appending-try-python-flask from the directory (AKA folder) you're now trying to run dev_appserver.py from?
