Django App Engine Utilities

This project has been merged into the app engine patch project. There will be no more updates to Django AE Utils for the foreseeable future. All existing code and documentation will remain available on this site.

Django technically runs on Google App Engine but there are significant parts which do not work too well. Django App Engine Utilities is a collection of tools to replace or supplement these parts to ease the use of Django on App Engine.

NOTE: Django App Engine Utilities only work against Django trunk. They will not work against Django 0.96 (missing session engine support), but they probably will work against most Django branches.

Documentation

• SessionEngine
• UserModel

What django-ae-utils provides right now

• A session engine which uses the App Engine Datastore for a backend.
• A user model/authentication system based on the App Engine Datastore but independent of the Google Users API.

What django-ae-utils may include in the future

• What ever else is found to be needed with further experimentation and development with App Engine.

Random Note

Eventually some of the code in this project may make sense to add to the Google App Engine Helper for Django. Right now how ever I am simply creating tools as I need them and making them available to anybody else who may also find them useful.
