Thanks guys for the answer. So this will be the scenario Ruby on Rails (on hosting site) <-> internet (push/pull) (REST) <-> python in Google App Engine.
I think you nail the question why I want to use Ruby on Rails on the front end because I feel "app engine java" is not that reliable yet. At the same time Ruby On Rails on the hosting give me a lot of flexibility. By putting certain type of data in Google App Engine, it will be standard for all other devices that need to access that set of data. Like from Android, blackberry, iphone, etc. One of the problem that might come out is data sync from hosting site and Google App Engine site. What do you think? or what other possible issues that might come out with this scenario?
