>From the "book" if I use in web2py db.define_table('person', Field<http://www.web2py.com/book/default/docstring/Field> ('name'), Field <http://www.web2py.com/book/default/docstring/Field>('image', 'upload')) it bets suited for "interactive" apps because it integrates well with the forms, templates, etc. in web2py.
>From other side a massive "server" side work is more appropriate with GAE and its parallel "services". To make this "bridge" to GAE parallel universe all the man needs is the "key" of the web2py table "person". Having the table key and using google.appengine.ext.db it easy to get the table instance values and do some work on GAE. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/keyclass.html#Key An application can retrieve a model instance for a given Key using the get()<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/functions.html#get> function. Now the question is how to do that? The reverse is also important - how to use in web2py a table instance defined in GAE? * *
