GoogleAppEngine wordpress complains (Could not create directory) on update and plugin install

I have a problem updating wordpress or installing wordpress plugin in my local version of google app engine. I get the following message.

Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/event-espresso-decaf.4.8.38.decaf.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Could not create directory.

With the same code base I am able install plugin using MAMP (Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). However fails with google Pyton script (dev_appserver.py). I tried changing the permission of the file system by giving privilege to all user for write. Tried executing as sudo dev_appserver.py .. Followed the advice in other post, No luck.

Whats the problem here?, With MAMP all looks good in my local, but the same code break as I deploy to GAE (​appcfg.py -A APP-ID update app.yaml). Whats the problem here

Cannot write to file on Google App Engine Dev server with PHP?

Staring SDK 1.9.18, dev_appserver disables local file writing by default to better simulate the production environment. You can enable file writing by adding "google_app_engine.disable_readonly_filesystem=1" to your php.ini file.

I also wrote a blog post about running WordPress on App Engine flexible environment at: https://wp.gaeflex.ninja/2016/03/25/using-wordpress-multisite/

Please give it a try too.
