##A streamlined Django and App Engine integration.

Run locally:

git clone git@github.com:potatolondon/djappengine.git
cd djappengine
dev_appserver .

Visit http://localhost:8000 to marvel at your work.

Now deploy to appspot, first set up an app on http://appengine.google.com and replace application in app.yaml with the name of your app (in your text editor or like this):

sed -i '' 's/djappeng1ne/myappid/' app.yaml

You're ready to deploy:

appcfg.py update .

The Django app in core is there to get you started. Have a look around.

##Running tests

python manage.py test core

djappengine uses a custom test runner that doesn't try to use a database. This is because djappengine is designed primarily to be used with App Engine's models, and not with Django's ORM. If you're using CloudSQL, comment out the TEST_RUNNER line in settings.py.

core/tests.py is an example test that sets App Engine's testbed.

• Sets up static resources
• Points all other paths to the WSGI app

• Sets up env variables and the path
• Determines if we're running locally
• Routes logging for production
• Defines the WSGI app

• Friendly reminder not to use runserver, use dev_appserver.py for now
• Sorts out paths using dev_appserver

• Sets up caching
• Sets up sessions

• Just points to core’s url config

• Uses dev_appserver to set up the python path

• So App Engine's memcache is seen by django

• A custom test runner that lets you use Djanog's simple test runner to run tests with App Engine's testbed and without a database.

• A simple example app to get you started
