The main issue is the difference in the interfaces of the database models. I suppose another issue may be that certain queries in satchmo may well not have a mapping to a query in datastore language.
When then also have the task of checking dependencies are compatible with appengine, and porting them when not. I consider it to be well worth the hassle though. Have Google deal with server maintenance, application execution, versioning, developer access etc. is a huge benefit leaving me to concentrate on my app. logic. I envisage it would also open up Satchmo to a couple more target audiences also; being able to simply update to appengine a sample satchmo project akin to app-engine-patch would mean it would not be out of the question for someone who is primarily user interface to upload the sample to appengine, make whatever changes to templates and have a shop front up and running without any thought given to the host it is running on. Further, hosting a blogger.com style satchmo service on appengine (login with Google Account, create shop, associate shop with Google Apps Domain, fill out products, choose from a default style, or pay to have a custom design). There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Throw it in appengine with some ads …baby, you’ve got a stew goin'!
