djangae's Features

  • A WSGI middleware that provides a clean way via which your Django app is plugged into App Engine.
  • A hook to allow App Engine's deferred tasks and mapreduce handlers to run through the same environment.
  • The ability to use use the Datastore as the database for Django's models. See The Database Backend for details. You can also use App Engine's NDB, or you can use Google Cloud SQL (via the standard django MySQL backend) instead of or along side the Datastore. Or use all 3!
  • djangae.contrib.gauth which provides user models (both concrete and extendable abstract versions), an auth backend, and a middleware
  • which allow you to authenticate users using the App Engine's built-in Google Accounts authentication, and also allow you to use Django's permissions system on the Datastore (i.e. without being caught out by the Many-To-Many relationships).
  • A runserver command which fires up the App Engine SDK to serve your app (while still using Django's code reloading).
  • The ability to run management commands locally or on the remote App Engine Datastore.
  • A shell command that correctly sets up the environment/database. (Note, we should support this set up for any custom commands as well, see TODO.md).
