The dev server is based on BaseHTTPServer and other elements of the Python std lib. If by 'safe' you mean 'robust', then no. I wouldn't use the dev server for a production server: - The dev server is single-threaded - it only serves one request at a time. - The datastore is written in Python so it will probably not match the performance of PostgreSQL or the native Google Apps datastore. - The default datastore stores all objects in memory so it will not scale well. - User login is stubbed out There is a google group where you might get a more detailed answer: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
