Cheers Dougal, I'm actually using that helper already (and it's great). However, the DB-related stuff is quite different from a standalone Django app using, say, MySQL. For example, in the modem classes, properties are all different... #Regular Django: first_name = db.StringProperty() #GAE Django (with Google's helper): first_name = models.CharField() ... and in your view code, to retrieve the data is something like... # Regular Django persons = Person.objects.filter( first_name=request.POST [ "first_name" ] ) # GAE Django persons = Person.all().filter( "first_name = ", request.POST [ "first_name" ] ).fetch( 1 ) ... so you have different code in both your models and views, which becomes impossible to manage, in terms of source code management, when deploying the same app to GAE *and* a standalone application (say, powered by fast_cgi). I was hoping for a common base class that would be compatible with both (allowing for the incompatibilities between MySQL and GAE, obviously).
