Google App Engine
I don’t do python… yet, at least. :) Settle down; I’ve got it on my to-do list.
But wanting to see what Google App Engine was all about, I downloaded the sdk and signed up for an account.
In the app.yaml file—where you can specify the version of the application and other meta information about your application, I noticed that a runtime can also be specified and by default it is set to python. The documentation for Google App Engine notes that…
This code runs in the python runtime environment, version “1”. Additional runtime environments and languages may be supported in the future.
So, for those of you who don’t do python either… there’s hope. Or you could do something quiet strange, like this! Yikes!
Another interesting tidbit is that some subset of Django is included with Google App Engine. Let’s play.
