Thanks I will check it out. After I emailed, I was looking around and found tipfy(http://www.tipfy.org/). Its supposedly a framework specifically for GAE and it also supports multiple modes of authentication including datastore based. Anybody has used it and have good/bad things to say about it.
BTW, my app on GAE will only be exposing a json based API that will be used by a custom client built in Qt for desktop and maybe later a native android/iPhone app. Are there any resources out there that talk about this especially with respect to authentication, sessions etc as the API should only respond to authenticated users within a specific session. I found a few pointers on stackoverflow.com but non that were extensive.
