Is Pinax able to be deployed on gae?

Question

Hi all,

Is there any chance that an application developed with Pinax could be deployed in google app engine?

As I know, Pinax is based on Django, and integrates tons of applications, it is suitable for building even a social networking site. It's extremely useful but I wonder if I can deploy it on google app engine.

Thank you,

The main issue here is that Django ORM is not compatible with GAE's datastore but some work has already been made to port Pinax using app-engine-patch. Here is the repository.

It looks like there was a release on Aug 2, 2009, to include Django 1.1 (see http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/wiki/ReleaseNotes )

I know you said July, and August 2 isn't much different than July. :)

I, too, am interested in Pinax on App Engine. Please report your findings, if you try it!

Pinaxcombo does it only for the blog part of Pinax. Has there been any effort to port the 'entire' Pinax onto GAE?
