[google-appengine] Find for a file multiple static dirs in order
Hi guys, I need to create an overriding effect for themes. Is it possible to specify a list of directories to look for stylesheets/icons etc in order. For example first look for style.css in the theme folder, if not found then look in other directories in the list. I hope, I was able to make things bit clear.

[google-appengine] Re: 1 application, multiple datastores
The system in this case is the combination of the GAE platform and an application running on said platform. No, I would prefer GAE to implement the system completely, using existing elements. How? In app.yaml, you specify that your application supports mapping multiple google apps user spaces to your app. Currently it only allows one. This is an application marketplace type concept. When my app is added, a new data partition is created for their users. Most importantly I am the administrator of the app and all of the data partitions - this is different to deploying my app to their GAE account - it still resides in my account, and the customer has no administrative rights beyond what I give the in my application code. I need only have one app deployed. With this model, registration, user provisioning, authentication and data partitioning are all handled external to my application code using building blocks that are already present in the GAE offering. The only change to my application code from right now is an entry in app.yaml. It's not even particularly complicated - especially for me, the application developer. I can imagine implementations that don't even require the app.yaml entry. I'll admit (as I'm sure you will) that this thread has led me to think more deeply about the implementation of the use case from my original post, but the above is not excessive, and is much preferable to application code. It would allow some great additions, such as a common billing and payment engine - something most app developers would love to have taken off their plate. Yet another feature this would allow - version migration for customers. I deploy separate versions of my app, and have the ability to move customer data partitions between app deployments. An obvious use case is that some customers may be happy to try new features in beta, others may want to wait for release versions. It is worth noting that google apps essentially supports this feature currently with the checkbox indicating that you want the latest features. These are all major development efforts that carry significant risks to your customers, and are mostly diversions to core creative application development. Common use cases should be moved to the platform layer, freeing the developer to actually build their application. This, I think, is a good summary of the stated goals of GAE platform. I'll add the above implementation as a suggestion to 945 to clear up any misunderstanding about platform vs application. The GAE security architecture is not based on not allowing cross data store queries. It's based on authenticated access to partitioned datastores, which is a very different thing. I did say - '...security architecture of GAE is based on trustable external authentication, data partitioning, mapping that data partition to the authenticated entity, and not allowing cross data store queries' I realise they are different things, that's why I listed them separately. As it stands GAE does not allow cross data store queries, and from my perspective that is an aspect of the security architecture. 106 wants that aspect 'relaxed'. While I don't think GAE will implement cross data store queries using the data API (I still think exposing an application API to access said data, or supporting one data partition for many apps is the right choice), a possible implementation that would be acceptable to me is adding an entry to app.yaml specifying how strict data partitioning should be for an application. For my use case I would choose the strictest option, and for yours something less so. It's not ideal, as an error in app.yaml could lead to the cited bug, but the risk profile much less, and more easily auditable. On Dec 30, 12:53 am, Andy Freeman ana...@earthlink.net wrote: 'The system spawns a virtual instance of the app - or at least allows mapping a single datastore partition to the authenticated entity. You coudl extend it by allowing multiple datastores per authenticated entity and choosing the appropriate one at authentication time.' I haven't mentioned application code at all. If you have interpreted 'the system'' to mean my application code, then I think you are being disingenuous. The system in this case is the combination of the GAE platform and an application running on said platform. What's the point of a feature request for my own application code? Oh really? The reason that this requires a feature request is that it isn't (currently) possible for an application running on GAE to request the creation of another datastore. (One could call an outside agent to request another application, but ) Do you support request 106? Yes. Do you oppose 945? Not sure. At the moment, I am getting the idea you support 106, but not the implication that it would support queries across datastores. 106 allows an application to access multiple datastores, so why would I think that
[google-appengine] Re: 1 application, multiple datastores
No, I would prefer GAE to implement the system completely, using existing elements. I was unaware of the weight that your preferences have. I note that your implementation requires new elements, namely additions to app.yaml. It would allow some great additions, such as a common billing and payment engine - something most app developers would love to have taken off their plate. There are lots of other implementations that have that property, as well as the others described below. As it stands GAE does not allow cross data store queries, and from my perspective that is an aspect of the security architecture. 106 wants that aspect 'relaxed'. How do you know how the current GAE code actually works? One possible implementation that satisfies every currently observable behavior involves an open datastore routine that is passed the name of the relevant datastore and called by Google code that lives in application space. This routine returns a token that is used by every datastore access routine. (A given process may access the datastore on behalf of urls that require login as well as ones that don't so whatever mechanism connects a process to a datastore probably does not require any user credentials. However, open datastore may use app- specific credentials baked into the application by google's set up code.) There are a number of places where open datastore could be called. 106 or any of the variants that I've mentioned would merely make open datastore available through some appropriate safeguards and would be just as secure as the current system. I don't know Google's code either, but it is generally believed that BigTable is used in many internal Google applications. The easy way to make BigTable available to applications is via such a routine called by application-space code. To the extent that GAE's datastore is just a BigTable wrapper On Dec 30, 6:17 am, hawkett hawk...@gmail.com wrote: The system in this case is the combination of the GAE platform and an application running on said platform.

[google-appengine] Re: How do you debug?
Hello, I'm new to Python, I've started with Python approx 5 months ago because of GAE. Promising platform, but when I started, I was unhappy with the state of the tools around GAE and Python in general. For log inspection I've created FirePython: http://github.com/darwin/firepython/tree/master FirePython I use all the time with GAE and it is a life saver for me. --- For debugging I've tried almost all free tools * Eclipse+pydev (too bloated and slow to start the IDE), * WinPdb (not polished, password protection when attaching debug session drives me crazy), * Komodo (unable to setup debugger with GAE SDK), ... * I'm looking forward to Netbeans Python support in next version Nothing satisfied me, mainly because I wanted to stay with my favorite code editor (TextMate) during debug sessions and not starting some bloated IDE. I've ended using old pdb in terminal. Unfortunately I was unable to setup code completion at least. I've tried to mess with pdb sources, but it felt to me like bunch of crap and without debugger to debug it I was quite lost :-) I was so frustrated, that I've written my own debugger shell on top of pdb in terminal window. Nicely integrated with TextMate using script called PdbTextMateSupport. Here is a screenshot: http://public.hildebrand.cz/termate_and_pdb.png I'm quite new to OSX. I've taken this as a training. I've learned MacRuby + Cocoa and have written this terminal sniffer in Ruby. This debugger shell has less than 1000 LOC and does just bare minimum. I've created TextMate bundle for keyboard shortcut to step the code. It has some rough edges, but I'm quite happy with this solution. It works for me, but it is not public ready. Basicaly it is just a weekend hack. I have no extra energy to make this into proper open- source project with decent support. If you are interested in sources ... http://github.com/darwin/termite.pdb/tree/master Fork it or leave it :-) Best wishes for 2009 and hope for better tools for Python and GAE.

[google-appengine] Global Application Configuration Data
Hi, Some applications have system variables like 'DEBUG_ENABLE', 'MAP_API_KEY', etc that can change the overall behavior of the application. What is the best way to represent this data in our application? One way to do this is have a module that exports this information as variables.

In some systems, such configuration data is stored in an INI file which is read/written by the admin interface. In GAE, we cannot access the file system so an INI file is out of the question.

[google-appengine] NeedIndexError and dynamically created entities
Hello!
My application needs to dynamically create entities. In short, I am
creating an entity per user, in the fashion:
table = type(name, (UserGeneric,), {})
where UserGeneric is a class with all user properties needed by my
application. So, entities are created at run-time. The problem is that
queries lack of an index, since queries are targeting entities have
been created at run-time. For example if a user joins the application
with name 'foo' a new entity (for example '__foo') will be created,
but every query targeting that entity will fail, since there is no way
to generate an index for it. Is there any workaround?
In another context, I need to reorganize my entities in the live
server using a script. This script is meant to run once, just to copy
records for old tables to new ones. However, I am always getting a
time-out when I am trying to execute the script in the live server.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Elias

[google-appengine] Re: NeedIndexError and dynamically created entities
Hi Elias,
You only need indexes for certain kinds of queries, such as those with
inequality filters, or some ancestor queries. You can run other queries
immediately after a kind is created. Composite index queries can be read up
on here:
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/queriesandindexes.html
Also, this article is very helpful:
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/index_building.html
If you create a kind you believe will need a composite index, you might try
to log the kind and query type, and periodically add those to your
app.yaml. Please also be aware that there is currently a limit on 100
composite indexes per application.
As for the reorganization script, you will need to write this script to
modify data in batches, probably using some kind of request argument to
indicate the start and end of the batch which you are processing. You will
need to experiment with the amount of data in one request that you can put()
and delete(), since it depends largely on the size and shape of your data.

Can we ever experience inserting a record that will have a lower ID than the previous? the others beat me to this answer. :P if the rest of the path is identical, then it's uncommon, but definitely possible. Forgot to ask; How does the key fit into the hierarchy, compared to the key_name id? i'm not sure i understand this question. a key is composed of app id and the full path to the entity. key names and ids are components of paths. feel free to follow up if that doesn't answer the question. On Dec 23, 10:44 am, Andy Freeman ana...@earthlink.net wrote: That's a curious comment. It suggests that ids may be reused if there's another difference in the path. correct. for example, each of these keys is valid and points to a distinct entity: /Post[1] /Post[1]/Post[1] /Post[1]/Post[1]/Post[1] /Post[1]/Thread[1] /Thread[1] /Thread[1]/Post[1] /Thread[1]/Post[1]/Thread[1]/Post[1] /Thread[1]/Post[1]/Post[1]/Thread[1] However, combining that with the statement that there's no reuse for a given path is interesting because there's no obvious place for the datastore to keep track of what ids it has used. under the covers, each entity group has its own id namespace that's used for non-root entities. root entities have their own per-app id namespace. both namespaces are independent of kind and path hierarchies (apart from the root entities, since they define entity groups). that means that in practice, every id-based root entity has an id that's across all other root entities, and every id-based non-root entity has an id that's unique across all other entities in that entity group. this is all just implementation details, though! we don't have any plans to change id allocation right now, and it's unlikely that we will, but the only hard uniqueness guarantee we provide is that the full path is unique. the upshot of all of this is that you generally want to use full keys whenever possible. bare ids or key names are generally only interesting or useful when the rest of the path is held constant, including the kind of the entity in question. that's the only way to guarantee the key names or ids will be unique. Yes, one can store an indicator of what ids have been used (such as the last id used) with an entity group, but what happens to that indicator when the entity group goes away? If it is destroyed and then recreated when the entity group is recreated, how does the id allocator avoid previously used ids? good question! per-entity-group id namespaces currently live forever. if all of the entities in a given entity group disappear, and then the entity group later reappears, ids for new entities in that group will not be reused. this is another implementation detail, though, not a hard guarantee! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

[google-appengine] How to get combined API + Runtime in log files?
Hi all. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here. In the Admin Console (on the production servers), I get log lines like: 12-30 12:39PM 36.208 /x 500 552ms 1713ms-cpu 7kb (with a CPU warning icon next to the 1713ms-cpu). When I retrieve the log files from app engine, I can't seem to find either the request time (552ms) or the combined API + Runtime (1713ms-cpu). Is there some obvious way to get this information that I'm just missing? It would be fantastic to be able to trend this stuff over time, to identify the overall effects of changes.
