It works until you want to use PIL or LXML and need to compile a python library with native extensions, or if you want to use a datastore other than google's.

It works until you want to use PIL or LXML and need to compile a python library with native extensions, or if you want to use a datastore other than google's.
At least, you couldn't do those things a few years ago.
- dagw 13y agoYour point about compiled python libraries is correct in principle, but it's worth pointing out the GAE python comes with PIL and LXML (and a bunch of other libraries) pre-installed these days: See https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27 https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/li... for a complete list. But,yea if you need a library that's not on that list and uses native extensions, then you're kind of screwed.
- crassus 13y agoOh, that's cool. It makes GAE a lot more appealing.
