you have 3 options as i see it: - port the pages to be part of web2py controllers/views - import the DAL and your db.py file to define your models in these pages. then use the DAL to get the data - duplicate your web2py models as google model classes. write your own GQL to access the data. (trick: define as Expando models, then you don't have to define each field).
if you are only doing data reads any of the above are probably fine. if these are read/write actions i personally would lean towards the first option as it will be easier to maintain going forward. i have done option 3 but only for doing one-time data migrations that i couldn't do with the web2py DAL. cfh On Monday, August 20, 2012 8:35:06 PM UTC-7, David Sheffield wrote: > > I have some web pages on gae that are not web2py but I would like to > access some data stored in my web2py "DAL" data stores that run on GAE.
