I am configuring Google App Engine for Python, in the file app.yamlthere is the option threadsafe.

What does it affect to activate/deactivate this option?

    threadsafe: yes

    First, note that the notation used to configure threadsafeis by trueor false:

    threadsafe: [true | false]

    By default, Google App Engine processes requests serially and sends them to the Web Server, however, if you would like to configure it to process requests in parallel, you use the threadsafe: true.

    Note that it is only required for Python 2.7 applications and that the use of threadsafe: truealso requires that all script handlers be of type WSGI, i.e. each of your scripts must be specified in the directive scriptand with separate package notation. for points:

    application: blog-119911
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:

- url: /
  script: home.app

- url: /admin/.*
  script: admin.app
  login: admin
