I'm building app using GAE and wanted to use Django for that. Which "patch" is better? app-engine-patch or django-gae-helpers? I mean functionality and future of them (will one of them die soon).

+4  A: 

If by django-gae-helpers you refer to http://code.google.com/p/django-gae-helpers/ then there's nothing you can use there yet.

I haven't tried app-engine-patch but I've used goole-app-engine-django. It took a bit of trial and error to get it working but it works quite well (I miss the admin though).

I would give app-engine-patch a try, they say there're better than google-app-engine-django and include the admin and more...

I actually just downloaded app-engine-patch and was able to get it running very quickly and to upload it to gae. I haven't tried any of the features yet.

I have running app-engine-patch and it looks nice. Just wanted to know, if i'm going right way ;) Don't want to end with lots of code and have to rewrite it to other "patch" ;) But i see that it was good choice.

Took me few minutes to get up and running with patch. very straigtforward.

app-engine-patch gives you the latest stable django and except database models (you have to use google datastore) is pretty much compatible.

Found this question when searching for something that compared http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/ vs. http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/ . Anyone have experience with both of those?
