Group, i'm starting work on an AppEngine site and i was going to use Django (i haven't used it before), i went through the Django docs and i saw lots of useful features but many exist already on the AppEngine, such as database models and forms (through google.appengine.ext.db.djangoforms) - plus the concept of urls and views seems to be easily reproduced in AppEngine without much code.
In addition to this i'm seeing that the Django admin site has been replaced by the AppEngine data viewer which isn't as powerful or customizable right now, so i'm not seeing alot of reasons to use the Django framework (other than wanting to). What are the main advantages of using Django on the AppEngine? (i can see at least two disadvantages in having an additional layer and added configuration/maintenance). Was Django made compatible with the AppEngine (through the Appengine Helper for Django) mostly for allowing users to port their existing Django apps over or does it actually extend AppEngine with added functionality? I'm probably missing something, right? Let me know, thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
