[google-appengine] App Engine Code Challenge - write a tetris playing algorithm
Hi all, Here's my attempt to learn App Engine / python. It's a tetris code challenge, you write a tetris playing algorithm, and the app challenges your algorithm. You can write the algorithm in anything that can do cgi: php, asp.net, jsp, etc. I've provided a sample client that you can easily host on App Engine. Check it out here: http://tetrisapp.appspot.com/ - it will default to my sample algorithm.. Read more on how to write your own algorithm here: http://tetrisapp.appspot.com/static/howto.html Its a bit rough at the moment.. If you struggle with any of the details let me know - i really need to get the documentation a bit more readable. I've got more features to add, depending on how popular it is..

[google-appengine] Re: loading a model by key
That works, thanks Alexander! It also works without the db.Key: model = MyModel.get(key) The relevant references - of course it was all there in front of me: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/modelclass.html - Note get() is a CLASS method http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/keyclass.html - The string-encoded key can be converted back to a Key object by passing it to the Key constructor On Nov 19, 5:31 pm, Alexander Kojevnikov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Aw, man... typed that wrong, i am doing: model = MyModel.get(key) So this _should_ work with the string I'm getting from the querystring?

[google-appengine] loading a model by key
Hi all,
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here.. Can you load a
model with the key() in a string?
I can read the .key() off my model - it's a long random string. I'm
sorting this in the HTML- so I can pass it to an ajax request. Inside
the Ajax request, I want to load up the corresponding Model. I'm
trying to pass in the key string to get() to load up the object, doing
something like this:
key = self.request.get('key')
model = MyModel(key)
But I always get back an 'empty' object?
Thanks,
Russ

Aw, man... typed that wrong, i am doing:

So this _should_ work with the string I'm getting from the
querystring?

[google-appengine] CapabilityDisabledError: Datastore writes are temporarily disabled.
I'm getting this exception in my app engine app : CapabilityDisabledError: Datastore writes are temporarily disabled. A search of this group suggest this only happens during scheduled maintenance? http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/fc5e5275bc9943d4/0d35dcb4b9fa3cf6?lnk=gstq=CapabilityDisabledError%3A+Datastore+writes+are+temporarily+disabled.#0d35dcb4b9fa3cf6 The data viewer is also giving me a Server Error.

Forgot to mention - I don't have any problem with the same code on the 'live' appspot webserver.

[google-appengine] urlfetch ResponseTooLargeError - what is the limit?
I'm attempting to write an app to 'manipulate' podcast MP3s. I'm getting an exception ResponseTooLargeError trying to grab the podcast. If I turn on allow_truncated - len(result.content) gives 1048576. Sounds like the limit is 1 meg - i don't find this documented anywhere. Is this a hard limit - or is it likely to change any time in the future? Russ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
