The trick is make application that runs on GAE IN ADDITION to running standalone or on a separate own server. I've heard that it can be easily achieved with Django + django-nonrel, but I don't have experience.

It would be extremely useful to see a comparison of these or at least a short review from those who are familiar with http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPiImplementations And the main problem that I am forced to use PyPI, because it is the only server where people can find and download my released packages. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
