I'm also quite interested in this. It was the first thing I thought of when I received the announcement today. You do great work with the boto library and I'm excited to see that you're looking into this.
As an aside, if the database backends were truly pluggable, like sessions, then we could prove the stability, usability, and commitment of the implementation without core commitment ahead of time. A brief search showed that this was discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/6bdfac9b1eac8d63/9ef5a73a61671cbd?lnk=gst&q=george+vilches&rnum=1 ...and while I'm at it I would really like to pluggable cache backends too. :) Michael blog.michaeltrier.com On Dec 14, 2007 6:41 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've actually been on the private beta for SimpleDB for over a year. > I've written a module supporting SDB for my boto library and I'd love > to see a tighter connection between Django and SimpleDB. > > I'm certainly not a Django expert but I did try to slot SimpleDB into > Django in a way that would allow me to define models in Django and > have it just work.
