To do this using shared libraries, App Engine would need to provide a mechanism for the owner to request which version of each library to use. You'd also want inter-library dependency tracking features to help prevent the app owner from requesting an incompatible set of libraries, ideally including a dependency on the runtime version as well. The app owner would need this facility built in to the SDK to help ensure that the local environment looks like the App Engine environment. I gather something like this could be based on PyPI and EasyInstall, but it'd be a substantial project. It's mostly easier for the app owner to bundle the library with the app. Most pure-Python packages are easy to bundle, and non-pure-Python packages don't work with App Engine. See the article on zipimport for information on mitigating the file count and file size limits when using third-party libraries. http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django10_zipimport.html -- Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
