Django and App Engine
- by notnoop
I wanted to check the status of running Django on the Google App Engine currently and what the benefits of running django on GAE over simply using Webapp.
Django main killer feature, IMHO, is the reuseable apps and middleware. Unfortunately, most current Django apps use models or model forms (django-tags, django-reviews, django-profiles, Pinax apps).
So what are the remaining features or benefits that django has that can still run in Google App Engine (other than what's disabled: the popular django apps, session and authentication middleware, users and admin, models, etc).
Also, is there a list of the Django apps that work in App Engine as well?
