--address=0.0.0.0 argument not working after upgrading to App Engine 1.7.6


I just upgraded to the latest version of App Engine which is usually a good thing and just works. Now when I try to launch dev_appserver (the new multithreaded version) I get:

dev_appserver.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --address=0.0.0.0

I've reviewed the new parameters but don't see what I need to change this parameter to so that I can still access the dev_appserver across my network using the machineName.local:port syntax which I really like to use.

Any ideas?


Google notes that I can use old_dev_appserver.py in the short term. That's good feedback. I am also looking for the long term solution.

  • I believe this parameter was renamed to --host
