I just finished trying out the Google App Engine “Getting Started” introduction. I haven’t programmed in Python for a very long time. The introduction was pretty cool.
Except for the problem with Windows in the static file CSS example. I found a discussion about the issue by Googling “App Engine InvalidAppConfigError”. They have a simple work-around to get the sample to work. But it looks like there will have to be fix in the API for the problem to be resolved.
But all in all, this is a pretty neat framework. I look forward to playing with the SDK some more.
(And being a pilot, I am a bit biased toward the App Engine logo. You can see it at the home page. It is a jet engine with wings and a vertical stabilizer. 🙂 )
