Answer 1

Another solution is to stub out the auth function with lambda: http://www.carlosble.com/?p=603

Answer 2

You need create an admin credential in your local development server first.

With your firefox (or chrome safari etc), open http://localhost:8178/remote_api, you will be asked to login (without password), enter an email as your login, and tick the login as administrater box, login. This will create you a local admin credential for you, use this when bulkloading locally.

It applies to other admin required local access.

Leaving (or commenting) out login:admin is a bad practice, since you might deploy that into production, too. Take care!

Answer 3

I recommend you follow the advice given here, and I quote:

add this to app.yaml file:

-- url: /loadusers
 script: myloader.py
 login: admin

Note that if you run it on local development machine, comment off the last line login:admin so that you don't need a credential to run the bulkloader.

(my emphasis).
