I would suggest taking the parts you want most and adding them to the app engine
environment. The differences and limitations of app engine make packages like
sqlalchemy and beaker less effective. I bundled routes, the paste packages and
pylons (and nose!) then stitched them together with the google webapp. It worked
out pretty well.
The great part about pylons is that once you know the parts, you can combine
them in any way you like.
Here's the script that starts a simple routes application on appengine.
from google.appengine.ext.webapp.util import run_wsgi_app
if __name__ == '__main__':
from routing import make_map #[1]
from util import WSGIApplication #[2]
app = WSGIApplication(make_map(), debug=True)
run_wsgi_app(app)
[1] The make_map method is the same as the standard pylons make map.
[2] The WSGIApplication takes a mapper which is used to match the url and
dispatch to the appropriate app engine RequestHandler class. See pylons
WSGIApplication for details.
Hope this is helpful.

I'm tempted to use GAE because I'd rather not get bogged down managing
servers and GAE seems to offer a convenient scaling paradigm (although
obviously you have to change your implementation techniques to get
that payoff).
I've been googling around and see a bunch of different ways to use
Pylons on the App Engine. Does anyone have a recommendation for the
best approach? Is it worth the annoyance of working in such restricted
environment?
Thanks for your help,
Gio.

Hi,
I'm considering taking an existing Pylons application (although
probably only has like 20-30 hours of development time involved so
far) and switching the backend from MongoDB to GAE. The main reason
