Re: [google-appengine] Modules vs Multiple Scripts?
Also important: each module is allowed to scale up / down seperatly, which means you can configure the more important things to scale faster while allowing slower scaling (and thus lower costs) on less important modules On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 5:37 AM, Vinny P vinny...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 5:18 PM, ZTNXiLUzVm sc4...@gmail.com wrote: I am developing in App Engine with Python and I understand what Modules are from reading the documentationhttps://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/converting, but I thought the process of splitting your code into multiple scripts and mapping them in the app.yaml file was supposed to accomplish the same thing.

[google-appengine] Modules vs Multiple Scripts?
I am developing in App Engine with Python and I understand what Modules are from reading the documentationhttps://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/converting, but I thought the process of splitting your code into multiple scripts and mapping them in the app.yaml file was supposed to accomplish the same thing.
