Asking, anyone have a php site on google app engine?
I'm interested to trying it but I have to have Python 2.7 installed (on windows) to install their SDK.
Is vendor lock-in a concern?
- bquinlan 11y agoIs installing Python 2.7 a huge barrier? I bet that you can download and install it in less than 60 seconds (https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.4/ https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.4/).
- ourmandave 11y agoNot a show stopper. But I don't know the first thing about Python and didn't want to have to learn how to install (and config it if something went wrong).
- bquinlan 11y agoOn Windows, installing Python involves double clicking on the installer, pressing the "Next" button until it turns into "Finish" and then pressing that. No configuration should be required. But point taken. It would be cool if Python were bundled with the Windows SDK.
- caseysoftware 11y agoVendor lock-in isn't especially strong. I wrote the original Twilio/PHP/AppEngine docs almost two years ago: http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/08/getting-started-with-twilio-and-google.html http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com/2013/08/getting-star...
