I followed the tutorial on webapp2 for creating a hello world app in detail, but it doesn't work

I have created a folder.

In that folder,

I have created

app.yaml

It contains:

application: helloworld
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /.*
  script: helloworld.py

I have created

helloworld.py

It contains:

print 'Content-Type: text/plain'
print ''
print 'Hello, world!'

When I click on browse in the Google App Engine launcher, this application should run and display

Hello, world!

according to the tutorial.

But when I click on browse, the browser displays an empty web page.

If I click on developer tools in Chrome, I can see that the generated web site is:

<html>
<head><style type="text/css"></style></head>
<body></body>
</html>

What might be wrong? Why is this simple hello world example not working for me?

EDIT:

Here is a link to the tutorial in question: https://webapp-improved.appspot.com/tutorials/gettingstarted/helloworld.html#tutorials-gettingstarted-helloworld

I'm not sure what tutorial you are using, but that CGI style doesn't work with the python27 runtime (and the older one hasn't been available for years). You should use the actual GAE tutorial.
