Development Environment

GAE SDK defines the development environment.

The main routing scheme is

/<region>/<city>/<category>?

e.g.

/sao_paulo/grande_sao_paulo/vehiculos?

implemented as

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/([^/]+)/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)',Handler),],debug=True)

Another routing scheme that can be used is

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/([-\w]+)/([-\w]+)/([-\w]+)', handler)],debug=True)

The template engine used is Jinja2 and the forms framework we use is WTForms.

Any questions about the Montao code, just feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with us! Why for example is this solution the best? It's internationalized and localized. You can advertise any even where we didn't think of e.g. Islamabad and prepared so that the name Islamabad will show up on the a fetched via geocoding instead of prepopulated locally. It's done through so-called reverse geocoding so we have a nice function(longitude,latitude)=Placename and also the other way since it's reversible we can get lon/lat for citities and vice versa.
