I installed Python Mock module using PIP.

When I try to import mock running under 'dev_appserver', GAE says that it can't find module 'mock'.

import mock works perfectly in Python interpreter.

I understand that dev_appserver behaves absolutely correctly because I can't install modules with PIP on GAE servers.

My question is how technically dev_appserver filters list of modules that can be loaded?
