The app-engine-patch authors have officially marked this wonderful project as dead on their website. Over the last year a lot of people have asked what the best way to run Django on Google App Engine was, and time after time people have pointed to app-engine-patch being the way to go. Now that this project is dead, I would love to revisit this discussion and see what you all would recommend.
The old app-engine-patch website refers to a different project called djangoappengine that they are working on. It focuses on using Native Django on App Engine but by doing so appears to limit your ability to use all of App Engine's features (such as its built in User model). What do you all think about this as a replacement solution?
Does the Google App Engine Helper For Django project now look more inviting now that app-engine-patch has died?
Or is app-engine-patch still so great that you would recommend still using it despite it being dead?
I currently have a project in its middle stages relying on app-engine-patch and have loved using it so far, but am scared to continue using a project that is dead. I would really appreciate any comments you have about what you think the best long term solution is now. Thanks!
