This post is about how to use Django on Google Appengine with Guido van Rossum's code review source code. Now, Appengine needs to be patched to use Django. You can either use patches (Appengine helper, App-engine-patch) or patch it by yourself. Another better way is using Guido's code as a template project.
Pros include:
1. codereview is hosted on Appengine and uses Django framework.
2. one feature of Django is pluggable. Your applications can be added by modifying url configuration file urls.py.
3. this open source project is actively maintained. Both of Appengine and Django are updated frequenctly. This will provide more useful features, but new versions normally also need new patches. Since codereview is an actual appengine application, it will show you how to use new features and make them work. This poject has some contributors, which means better customer support.
4. Guido is owner. And, he has substantial knowledge about Python.
For example, main.py shows how to set a breakpoint for debugging in appengine. Rietveld.py provides some useful helper functions.
