I'm doing some research with an interactive shell and using a Django app (shell_plus) for storing data and browsing it using the convenient admin.

Hi Say I have the unknown number of questions. For example: Is the sky blue [y/n] What date were your born on [date] What is pi [3.14] What is a large integ [100] Now each of these questions poses a different but very type specific answer (boolean, date, float, int). Natively django can happily deal with these in a model. clas...

For our project we host both the website and the actual webapp on one AppEngine instance. I separated them both nicely in different projects, but they all share the same settings file.
