I've made this decorator, which results in an infinite redirect loop. The problem is this: args[0].redirect(users.create_login_url(args[0].request.path)) It appears to be a perfectly valid URL. So why wouldn't it properly redirect? def admin_only(handler, *args): def redirect_to_login(*args, **kwargs): return args[0].r...
What I want to do is patch an existing python module that uses urllib2 to run on app engine, but I don't want to break it so it can be used elsewhere. So I'm looking for a quick solution to test if the module is imported in the app engine environment or not. Catching ImportError on urllib2 might not be the best solution. ...

Most of the time, the errors you get from your model properties will happen when you're saving data. For instance, if you try saving a string as an IntegerProperty, that will result in an error. The one exception (no pun intended) is ReferenceProperty. If you have lots of references and you're not completely careful about leaving in bad...

I'm working on an IPhone application that works with a Google App Engine application. I manage to get logged by using a google account and I get the authentication token.

I am using google's appengine api from google.appengine.api import urlfetch to fetch a webpage. The result of result = urlfetch.fetch("http://www.example.com/index.html") is a string of the html content (in result.content).

If you have a Google App Engine project you can authenticate based on either a) anyone with a google account or b) a particular google app domain. Since you can connect these two entities I would assume there is some way to query the list of users that can be authenticated. The use case is outputting a roster of all members in an organiz...

I figure one way to do a count is like this: foo = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM bar WHERE baz = 'baz') my_count = foo.count() What I don't like is my count will be limited to 1000 max and my query will probably be slow. Anyone out there with a workaround? I have one in mind, but it doesn't feel clean. If only GQL had a real COUNT Fun...
