Mako can be easily switched for another templating language that does not require native code. I believe genshi fits this, if not you can of course use the django templating language, this works fine. SQLAlchemy is a non issue as the intention is that you use Google's ORM interface (looks like it's based on the Django ORM, and I'm sure I read somewhere the data ends up in a BigTable instance). Paste is replaced by google's dev_appserver.py and setup tools is almost replaced by appcfg.py. As long as you are happy to buy in to Django/Google's api's there's no problem here. Using Pylons routing/controllers + Genshi/django templates + Google's ORM shouldn't be a problem at all. You don't have all the choice in the world, but hey, the service is currently free, what do you expect? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
