This data is not stored in your project; it is stored in the pywhip App Engine application. It is possible to get data in and out of App Engine programmatically: see http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html for a tutorial. Not every project hosted here uses App Engine, and the naming of the project here may or may not correspond to the naming of an App Engine app, so it would not make sense for a hypothetical project renaming script to also be involved with the data on an App Engine instance. Further questions about migrating your App Engine data would best be asked at the App Engine user forums, e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine . -- Jacob Lee <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
