Can I use django.contrib.gis on GAE?

Question

Can I use GeoDjango with GAE / BigTable?

Answer 1

No. You can't use Django models on App Engine, and therefore, can't use anything else that uses them, such as django.contrib.gis.

Answer 2

Another limitation is that the GEOS and GDAL libs aren't available on App Engine.
