I made a mistake.  Mako is pure Python but it depends on Python's
'ast' module, which isn't available in appengine.  Genshi has the same
problem.

I don't know about Google's storage system.  My point is just that
many web apps have significant database needs, just as some need
Numeric or charting or other things.  Appengine will either have to
find some way to provide those, or it won't be hosting those apps.
