 This demonstrates how to use Google Cloud Endpoints Frameworks v2 on Google App Engine Standard Environment using Python.
 
-This sample consists of two parts:
-
-1. The backend
-2. The clients

 ## Setup
 
 Create a `lib` directory in which to install the Endpoints Frameworks v2 library. For more info, see [Installing a library](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/using-libraries-python-27#installing_a_library).

 ## Deploying to Google App Engine
 
-Generate a swagger file by running: `endpointscfg.py get_swagger_spec main.EchoApi --hostname your-service.appspot.com`
-
-To set up OAuth2, replace `your-oauth-client-id.com` under the `x-security` section in `echo-v1_swagger.json` with your OAuth2 client ID. If you want to use Google OAuth2 Playground, use `407408718192.apps.googleusercontent.com` as your audience. To generate a JWT, go to the following address: `https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground`.
-
-Deploy the generated swagger spec to Google Cloud Service Management: `gcloud alpha service-management deploy echo-v1_swagger.json`
-
-Open the `app.yaml` file and in the `env_variables` section, replace `your-service.appspot.com` with your service name, and `2016-08-01r0` with your uploaded service management configuration.
