Google App Engine using Django

1
votes

I want to create a web application on GAE. Due to portability concerns I prefer to use Django instead of webapp2. Django also has more libraries and tools available.

I prefer to avoid using the Cloud SQL database due to pricing issue (I want to start free).

Google has a tutorial on this configuration

Thing is, this is an old document (Nov 2010), and django-nonrel may not be supported anymore according to this stack overflow question

In addition, the django-nonrel installation instructions got me nowhere, which reinforce this obsolecense assumption.

A couple of questions:

  • Is running django app on top of GAE with the non-relational db still a recommended option?
  • Is there a recent tutorial on how to get started with this option?

You don't need django-nonrel to work with django and appengine. If you're fine with using dastore / ndb models in place of of djangos model.Model then that's the route I would go.

A couple old tutorials here:
