[google-appengine] Why not implement a Django database backend for App Engine?

2009-11-18 Thread frankabel
Hi all,

I'm newbie in this App Engine. As far I know, lot of Django app
portability get solved if someone implement a  Django database backend
for App Engine. Even I read Once queryset-refactor lands in trunk, it
might also be possible to write a database backend for App Engine that
would allow any app to run properly.  at 
http://martyalchin.com/2008/apr/8/appengine/

Somebody can explain me why isn't implemented yet such database
backend? I, mean is a big deal? What are the main problems that ones
must address to write such backend? If the backend exist, porting
Django app will be more easy that using Google App Engine Helper for
Django?

Cheers
Frank Abel

Because the datastore is not a database.  Some of their operations may
look similar, but they really are not.  It is not a direct 1-to-1
mapping, no where near actually.
