I would recommend going with GAE/Python, especially if your site is mostly (or all) static. You don't need Eclipse. Just download the Python GAE SDK and set up a static directory for content in app.yaml. Click deploy and you are done.
If you want to block access to the *.appspot.com domain, you need to make all requests dynamic and then block these requests by looking at the host header. In Java you do this with a servlet filter; I'm not quite sure how you do it in Python but I'm sure it's in the webapp2 docs. The best thing is simply not to worry about it; gae will serve static content from special servers that are optimized for serving static content. If you are worried about search engines, use a canonical rel link: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html Jeff On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 11:46 AM, Omne <omn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you all for your replies.
