You're on the right track. A web service works very similarly to a web application, except instead of serving UI to a browser, it uses a protocol based on HTTP that describes the structure of requests and responses that make up the interaction between the client and the service. You can use a Python WSGI app on App Engine for a web service. The details depend on which protocol you wish to use. There are several common protocols to choose from, or you could invent your own HTTP-based format if you control both the client and the service. Search the web for information on REST and SOAP, and general information about web services. -- Dan
