Hi Mysql db backend isn't available inside the appengine environment. (There will be an option some day)
Alternately if your trying to connect to a remote mysql db (outside appengine) you would need a pure python implementation as most mysql client libs are based on c extensions. However even if you had one of those (here is one https://github.com/petehunt/PyMySQL/wiki/PyMySQL:-Pure-Python-MySQL-Client) it wouldn't do you a lot of good as mysql wire protocol isn't based on http (all outgoing connections need to be fundamentally based on http) So you would need a http abstraction layer (or rest interface or something else) to connect to some remote mysqldb. I think you need to have a read of the overview and getting started for appengine. I might give you a better idea about what you can/can't do with appengine http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/overview.html Rgds Tim P.S. Save your self some problems and use python 2.5 (ad then skip to 2.7 when support for it comes out) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
