Django-nonrel with djangoappengine is what you're searching for: http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/django-nonrel http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine With that combo you can use Django's models on App Engine (which includes modelforms, admin, auth, etc.). 3rd-party apps like django- socialauth work, too, but apps which depend on JOINs won't work because the App Engine datastore doesn't support JOINs. We do plan to solve that, too, but that'll take some time. Then, when Django 1.3 gets official nonrel support we'll port djangoappengine to that, so you can continue to use your code, but this time with the official Django release. So, basically, start with Django-nonrel now and then switch to Django 1.3 when it's out. Also, if you want to manage your media/assets you should have a look at django-mediagenerator. Unlike most alternative solutions it works in sandboxed environments like App Engine (which should be important to you ;) and it's very feature-rich. http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/django-mediagenerator Bye, Waldemar Kornewald -- Django on App Engine, MongoDB, ...?
