            Answered 2021-Mar-08 at 22:30

            If you run pip3 install pymysql in your local computer, this does not mean that when you deploy the app this module is packaged. In fact GAE attempts to install everything at build time using your requirements.txt file so it doesn't matter if you installed everything in your PC since GAE will not use what you have in local (talking about packages installed with pip).

            Checking your requirements.txt file I do not see that the package PyMySQL is added. You should add it to that file and attempt to deploy again.

            The problem is that you are passing a widget to mod.download_profile, and it expects a string.

            You need to get the value from the entry widget, and pass that value to the function rather than passing the widget itself:

            If you already know which profiles you want to download from (i.e. you have, as you mention, a profile_list = ['profile1', 'profile2', 'profile3', ...]), you can create a list of Profile objects. You can do this with a for loop, or in a more compact way using a list comprehension:
