Using Flask on Google App Engine

I have installed virtual environment successfully but it seems it doesn't recognize the site-packages. If anyone could help, I would really appreciated. Here is what I've done:

Running virtual environment, installed flask using pip install flask. Then here is the code I've done.

import sys
import os

sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'),'venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages'))

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello from localhost!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

You are right Arnis Jaundžeikars I think this won't work. But I've got it working on localhost. Thanks for the help by the way.

UPDATE: Google App Engine now support Flask, Django and Bottle. You need to import the libraries that pip is supose to do. Login to Google App Engine with a newest account and you will see the tutorial.

I can't help but notice your code is referencing Python 3.4. You are aware that Google App Engine supports only Python 2.7, right?
