How I can request a local url in my app engine application?

I am using Blobs to store json files for my application. What I am trying to achieve is to request an internal url of my application in order to get the relevant file. I have tried urllib, urllib2, urlfetch but every time I am getting a 5 second DeadlineExceededError: 5 timed out error. Is there a way to retrieve my blob in my get request or an alternative for retrieving my data?

This wouldn't on the development server (but will work on the production server) because its single threaded and you can't do a request to yourself from within a request.

There are several workarounds for your issue:

  1. Use the file write API to store the data.
  2. Use the multithread dev_server (required to switch to python 2.7 + HRD)
  3. Store the file asynchronously using queues or deferred.

You don't need to make HTTP requests to yourself in order to read data from the blobstore - you can simply use the BlobReader API.
