Do I need a Google App Engine to create and run a Facebook application?

I installed the Google App Engine on my computer to work with Python, so I could make my first Hello World application at http: // localhost: 8080 / . The facebook developers section says that I need a Google App Engine and Python app to test the app. But to my question: can I just put the files (.yaml and .py) on my server account (as soon as I finished testing)?

You don’t need a Google engine mechanism, which I think is just an example application. The main thing you need is a globally accessible web server. In this way, FB can reach your pages / applications from its servers. Therefore, depending on the language, get a small / free hosting account and test the application from there. Or you can also try Dynamic DNS to be able to contact your local machine from the outside world http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/

This example is written in Python and is specifically designed for the Google App Engine. So yes, you need the Google App Engine to run this example unchanged. However, almost any web hosting service in general will be sufficient for your own application.
