Getting HTTP GET variables using Tipfy
Hey everyone, I'm currently playing around with tipfy on Google's Appengine and just recently ran into a problem: I can't for the life of me find any documentation on how to use GET variables in my application, I've tried sifting through both tipfy and Werkzeug's documentations with no success.

How do I make a tipfy app accept own-auth, OpenID, and more?
Tipfy's user-authentication tutorial advertises its unified system that accepts all of Google, own-auth, OpenID, OAuth, and Facebook authentication; but the examples so far show exclusively Google auth and exclusively own-auth. How do I make the other authentication options available? ...
Proper way to edit existing entity in tipfy
I'm using a PersonEditHandler class in tipfy to edit a Person entity. I have the get() and post() methods formed, but when I reference self.person (to check if the get method found the existing person by key), I get an 'object has no attribute' error.

I'm trying to allow users to both answer (form 1) and comment on an item (form 2) from the same page. One approach to doing this in PHP is submitting a hidden form and checking for it before processing. However, I'm not sure what t...

Using PayPal with AppEngine (Python)

Catch-all routing using Tipfy
Using tipfy, how does one express a catch-all route in urls.py if more specific routes do not match? Tipfy uses Werkzeug-like routing, so there's this (in urls.py): def get_rules(app): rules = [ Rule('/<any>', endpoint='any', handler='apps.main.handlers.MainHandler'), Rule('/', endpoint='main', handler='apps.main.handlers.Ma...
