When I load it on FB I cannot see anything but reaching the address on AppEngine the counter shows the visit from FB was counted. Does Canvas.html need to show any special tags for FB to render it?

Does Canvas.html need to show any special tags for FB to render it?

Was trying to set up GAE and facebook and facebook now says I need to provide a secure URL (apparently this requirement came into effect from October 2011). Does this method still work?

You don't seem to have said anything about the fb APIs themselves :-) Here's a tutorial that I wrote to access the Graph API with python using only GAE modules. I think it would make a great addition to your tutorial (because I assume the reader has prior knowledge of GAE) http://blog.arunbalan.in/2011/09/20/facebook-canvas-apps-with-python-on-google-app-engine-super-simplified/ Hey!

Being a newbie, I took the code posted above at face value. I don't know if it is just my browser or the manner in which the code is posted, but the Python code is not following Python indentation requirements. Just reformat the code with proper Python indentation and it works fine. At least it works fine on GAE. The page works fine when I browse the .appspot.com page. However, it just shows a blank iframe when I browse the apps.facebook.com/ page. It does appear that the stat counter is incrementing when I browse the apps.facebook.com site. The problem seems to be that the iframe is not displaying the canvas.html visually even though it appears to be handling the functionality of the stat counter. I found the cause of the error.

I'm new to this and just trying it now and getting the same error: "Error: Server Error The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error message and the query that caused it." For Michael suggestion to try and write a handler... That's beyond my expertise at the moment. This is why I am currently at this introductory tutorial. Was a solution for this error ever found?

From there, they can read from the myriad of other, more advanced tutorials about how to establish a good Facebook App using Python.
