Hi JS, I'm writing a book on Python on App Engine (http://www.manning.com/gift/) and am just now sorting out what issues Pylons has on it. So any tips from others who are using Pylons on App Engine would be greatly appreciated. So far I've seen confirmations that minimal applications work, but I don't know if anybody's tried a larger app yet. Your problem sounds like it's related to Mako's template caching. App Engine apps can't create directories or write files. The June 9th comment on the page you cited suggests commenting out the ``module_directory`` arg in environment.py to disable caching. Of course, that will diminish Mako's amazing speed. It remains to be seen how much of a difference it makes. Perhaps down the road Mako can be patched to put cached templates in Datastore.
