I have some custom experimental changes to web2py to make it have a
DALnr which uses a lot of the native GAE datastore features.
It is my experimental DALnr for web2py.
It is hybrid relational and nr.
It allows you to access a row from a regular web2py query 2 ways -
regular DAL and also native with advanced GAE properites
 - i.e. the same instance can be manipulated both ways.
I am proposing these concepts to the web2py team.
Let me know if you are interested in having some of these experimental
patches.
