As it’s not good practice to use sqlite in dev and mysql (as used by Cloud SQL) in production I don’t recommend this setup to anyone.

Then, there is the option --use_sqlite: This is used to speed up development when using the Google Datastore. There is no similar option for Cloud SQL.

This can be resolved by whitelisting the sqlite3 module by appending _sqlite3 to _WHITE_LIST_C_MODULES in /usr/local/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/dev_appserver_import_hook.py.

Note, you’ll need to have selected “Make Symlinks…” in the app engine launcher to to access the file from /usr/local.

In the latest version of the SDK, you can enable the sqlite3 module in the sandbox by adding 

'sqlite3' in name.lower()

in the _should_keep_module function in google-app-engine/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/python/sandbox.py (around line 195)
