Re: [web2py] GAE (AppEngine) Datastore models under web2py - can they coexist?
"if the web2py models and raw GAE models are all different models there should be no problem. " Actually the GAE models will stay the same because all the system is already tested and working. I decided to move to web2py when I saw it has auth and I implemented it for 30 minutes including jQuery Mobile layout. Which impressed me and I needed to learn more. So basically how I see it I will use only auth from web2py database all the rest would be GAE. "for my largest web2py project (starmakerstudios.com and the associated iphone app that talks to the DB)" It looks cool. Does the web2py handles the traffic in a stable way?
Re: [web2py] GAE (AppEngine) Datastore models under web2py - can they coexist?
i doubt there is any documentation on the subject per-se. note that the web2py DAL simply translates the web2py style schema definitions and queries into raw GAE datastore queries. if you get really bored and read the DAL you'll see it's just a wrapper around what you already know. you'll also find that there are some GAE features that are not implemented in the DAL yet. if the web2py models and raw GAE models are all different models there should be no problem. if you are accessing a particular model via GAE and web2py just make sure that the web2py represent and requires are written in such a way that any data that may be inserted by the raw GAE access will not cause them to break. for my largest web2py project (starmakerstudios.com and the associated iphone app that talks to the DB) i do all my day-to-day work with web2py DAL, but schema migrations are often done with raw GAE access. hope that helps. feel free to fire off specific questions. cfh

What is the status if current stable release regarding hybrid GAE + web2py usage? Is this documented somewhere?

FWIW, I'm using the current stable release, with some changes of my own to gaehandler to support profiling.

+Jonathan Lundell Thank you. Before to post my question I made extensive research on this group and web and most information is dispersed. For example there are postings about web2py in the "trunk" which are addressing these questions but it is not clear at what stage is this.

It seems to work fine. If you look at the Datastore through GAE's inspection tools, you'll see the web2py stuff as entities in the Datastore. I don't think there's likely to be a conflict as long as you keep your namespaces from colliding. Caveat: I don't have this in production.
[web2py] GAE (AppEngine) Datastore models under web2py - can they coexist?
I invested a year in a pure GAE (AppEngine) project, needed to have auth and after much research decided to switch to web2py. This full stack framework blew me away! It is so simple and powerful, but it needs learning. My plan is to switch gradually to web2py because I have paying customers and other waiting to subscribe which I am holding on. One part of quick switching is replacing the Django templates I use with web2py. That part is relatively easy. The product is developed entirely for mobile using jQuery Mobile. It has the capability to run on desktop too but Internet Explorer creates issues - clicking on buttons and submit does not fires always. I believe web2py addresses this - I created layout_mobile.html template based on layout.html which has IE related code and tested it - it seems to work. But the main part is I have to use the native AppEngine Datastore because my database models and code is optimized and tested for thousand users for which Datastore is very good - nonSQL is very quick on this. The bottom line - how to use the native Google Datastore inside web2py? Are there any nasty incompatibilities? Thanks in advance, Regards, --Constantine
