+# Python Google Cloud Pub/Sub sample for Google App Engine Standard Environment
+
+[![Open in Cloud Shell][shell_img]][shell_link]
+
+[shell_img]: http://gstatic.com/cloudssh/images/open-btn.png
+[shell_link]: https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?git_repo=https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples&page=editor&open_in_editor=appengine/standard/pubsub/README.md
+
+This demonstrates how to send and receive messages using [Google Cloud Pub/Sub](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub) on [Google App Engine Standard Environment](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/).
+
+## Setup
+
+Before you can run or deploy the sample, you will need to do the following:
+
+1. Enable the Cloud Pub/Sub API in the [Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/project/_/apiui/apiview/pubsub/overview).
+
+2. Create a topic and subscription.
+
+        $ gcloud pubsub topics create [your-topic-name]
+        $ gcloud pubsub subscriptions create [your-subscription-name] \
+            --topic [your-topic-name] \
+            --push-endpoint \
+                https://[your-app-id].appspot.com/_ah/push-handlers/receive_messages/token=[your-token] \
+            --ack-deadline 30
+
+3. Update the environment variables in ``app.yaml``.
+
+## Running locally
+
+Refer to the [top-level README](../README.md) for instructions on running and deploying.
+
+When running locally, you can use the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk) to provide authentication to use Google Cloud APIs:
+
+    $ gcloud init
+
+Install dependencies, preferably with a virtualenv:
+
+    $ virtualenv env
+    $ source env/bin/activate
+    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+Then set environment variables before starting your application:
+
+    $ export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=[your-project-name]
+    $ export PUBSUB_VERIFICATION_TOKEN=[your-verification-token]
+    $ export PUBSUB_TOPIC=[your-topic]
+    $ python main.py
+
+### Simulating push notifications
+
+The application can send messages locally, but it is not able to receive push messages locally. You can, however, simulate a push message by making an HTTP request to the local push notification endpoint. There is an included ``sample_message.json``. You can use
+``curl`` or [httpie](https://github.com/jkbrzt/httpie) to POST this:
+
+    $ curl -i --data @sample_message.json ":8080/_ah/push-handlers/receive_messages?token=[your-token]"
+
+Or
+
+    $ http POST ":8080/_ah/push-handlers/receive_messages?token=[your-token]" < sample_message.json
+
+Response:
+
+    HTTP/1.0 200 OK
+    Content-Length: 2
+    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
+    Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:52:03 GMT
+    Server: Werkzeug/0.10.4 Python/2.7.10
+
+    OK
+
+After the request completes, you can refresh ``localhost:8080`` and see the message in the list of received messages.
+
+## Running on App Engine
+
+Deploy using `gcloud`:
+
+    gcloud app deploy app.yaml
+
+You can now access the application at `https://your-app-id.appspot.com`. You can use the form to submit messages, but it's non-deterministic which instance of your application will receive the notification. You can send multiple messages and refresh the page to see the received message.
