Personally: I haven't used Python in a few years, and I've never used Django, though it looks good. Most of my recent web work has been LAMPish (including large structured OO projects in PHP 5). I've found the learning curve with GAE to be pretty immense but presumably worthwhile. I'm very impressed with what Google has done so far.
Now considering the facts that a) lots of the "good bits" from Django are either included in GAE (templates) or don't work with GAE (some of the admin stuff), b) the version of Django that works out of the box is old (.96), and c) the workarounds for getting new Django to run seem like I'll be chasing my tail a lot since I'm not even sure how it's supposed to work in the first place... I decided to build my first projects using just webapp - no Django. This way I can familiarize myself with Django's template language and all the gotchas inherent in GAE itself. And hopefully by the time I'm ready to jump into Django, they'll have a newer version installed by default. This is MY current reasoning after dwelling on this for a few weeks given MY situation, which seems similar to the OP's. Your mileage may vary. This is an interesting discussion, though, and it would be helpful if anybody else with more experience would like to weigh in. These decisions may live with us for a long time :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
