do i need to declare my index.html in app.yaml?

I am new to google app engine and have trouble configure my web app. I don't know what i do need to add to app.yaml and what i don't? for example i know that i have to add my static files like images, and style sheets , but what about scripts files like angular do i need to declare them as static as well.
NOTE: APP STRUCTURE
+ProjectName
app.yaml
main.py
resources
images
styles
scripts
index.html
handlers:
- url: /rescources/images/(.*)
static_files: /images/\1
upload: /rescources/images/.*
- url: /rescources/styles
static_dir: /rescources/styles
- url: /rescources/scripts/.*
static_dir: /rescources/scripts
- url: /.*
script: main.APP
libraries:
- name: webapp2
version: latest
- name: jinja2
version: latest

Yes, your angular script files (if they are defined in a .js file) are to be considered static files. My suggestion is to move your images, css and script files (all .js files) into a seperate folder called 'static' and then your app.yaml file can be like below
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true
handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static
- url: /.*
script: main.APP
libraries:
- name: webapp2
version: latest
- name: jinja2
version: latest
If there's the possibility that your static files might change more frequently (for e.g. you've deployed your code to production but you're still working and making changes, you might want to set an explicit but lower expiration date for your static files. The example sets an expiration of 2 hours for your static files
- url: /static
static_dir: static
expiration: "2h"

Google App Engine Error at yaml_error

Following error as shown in screen-shot,occurs when i try to run my helloworld.py script in Google App engine from terminal.
#My Operating system:Ubuntu.14.#
And Here is my file app.yaml.
application: #My project Id.
version: 1
runtime: python27
threadsafe: true
api_version: 1
handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static
- url: /
static_files: static/index.html
upload: static/index\.html
secure: always
- url: /_ah/spi/.*
script: helloworld_api.app
libraries:
- name: endpoints
version: 1.0
The Problem is that i can't deploy my code on local machine.
Any helps would be Appreciated.Thanks :)
I had check Online Yaml parser and it shows its Valid too.

You're missing the libraries line, the endpoints library are actually interpreted as part of the handlers list, which is incorrect.
Should look like this:
...
- url: /_ah/spi/.*
script: helloworld_api.app
libraries:
- name: endpoints
version: 1.0

login: admin is simply ignored

I have this app.yaml:
application: xyz
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true
handlers:
- url: /static
static_dir: static
- url: /admin/.*
script: admin.app
login: admin
- url: /.*
script: main.app
libraries:
- name: webapp2
version: latest
- name: jinja2
version: latest
when I access /admin/, both the dev server and appengine display the contents without asking for authentication. What gives?

I've run into this before. Try clearing your cookies. Clearing the cookies also helps if you accidentally forgot to check "log in as administrator" when the dev server prompts you for the fake login info.

Secure Always Parameter Is Ignored In Appengine

When I add the secure: always parameter in app.yaml, I am still not redirected to a https. Https works when I type it in manually, and I'm testing this on the live server, but it treats the website as though secure: always isn't there.
I eventually just tried to map it to all the handlers in the yaml file, but it still has no effect.
application: appname
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: yes
handlers:
- url: /favicon\.ico
static_files: favicon.ico
upload: favicon\.ico
secure: always
- url: /css
static_dir: css
secure: always
- url: /fonts
static_dir: fonts
secure: always
- url: /js
static_dir: js
secure: always
- url: /img
static_dir: img
secure: always
- url: .*
script: main.app
secure: always
libraries:
- name: webapp2
version: "2.5.2"
- name: jinja2

Unable to include interactive python shell in flask app for GAE

I am using flask and the python 2.7 GAE SDK. I am trying to include an interactive shell, in my app.
I am trying to include the following interactive python shell in my app, so that I can interact with the GAE API while development - http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/source/browse/trunk/shell/
As instructed I have copied the static/ and templates/ folders, and shell.py to the root of my app.
I have also added the url route ONLY to my app.yaml (shell)-
application: myflaskonappengineapp
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: false

#interactive shell
- url: /shell
script: shell.py
- url: /remote_api
script: /opt/google_appengine/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
- url: .*
script: application.app
However when I try to access the url /shell, I get a 404 error ? Do I need to configure flask also for routing ? Why is flask handling this url instead of shell.py?

You need to modify the shell.py to handle the URL '/shell' as well as app.yaml.
In particular, you need to edit the line 303 of the shell.py.
from
[('/', FrontPageHandler),
to
[('/shell', FrontPageHandler),
You also need to update your app.yaml like(add wildcard):
- url: /shell.*
script: shell.py
Please consider adding login:admin to the shell handler, otherwise you will open up the shell capability to everyone in the world.
