i am currently developing a web application for a mobile phone. the website is written using google app engine (GAE) under python and django. i have tried using jqtouch to mobilize my website but jqtouch (or django-jqtouch) does not appear to be working.. any ideas on what i should do?
Hi Daniel
I'd try with full django + GAE for the django that's missing from pure GAE. There is a project called www.allbuttonspressed.com that enables full django with google app engine. I hope it can do what you want.

I am a Trainee in a company learning Python. The company wants me to study Python and Google App Engine. I studied them both individually and even used Google App Engine to create Web application with Bootstrap and JavaScript.
However, I do not know how to use Python in Google App Engine. When or where I should used Python in Google App Engine? What is the role of Python in making a Web Application?
Python will act as a middleware between the front-end and the database usually serving as a Web Server (whose job is to handle requests) and an Application Server (whose job is to do the business logic and optionally add a security layer).
browser -> web-server(python?) -> app-server(python?) -> database -> browser
In small projects like a Flask App, Web Server and Application Server are the same. But this can run into scalability problems.
You said you already created a web application, how did you access it in the browser?
Instead of worrying about terminologies just try out some Hello World examples and things will be clear.
Referencing Manage Google Drive files through App Engine, I have kind of the same question about App Engine w.r.t. Google Code Project Hosting, i.e., is there a Python API to interact with the latter using the former. Thanks!
It's possible to programatically upload files to a Google Code project, see the script at:
https://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ScriptedUploads
What else were you looking to automate?
Google App Engine includes this minimal framework called "webapp". Google Code does not list a project page for webapp. The only documentation/information from Google on webapp is in the Google App Engine documentation. Is webapp not usable outside GAE?
You could use webapp outside App Engine - there's very little that's App Engine specific - but it's not designed for it, and thus isn't packaged or documented separately. If you want a webapp-like framework you can use anywhere, check out webapp2. It's a very close copy of webapp, with a lot of improvements and extensions. In fact, we (the App Engine team) like it so much it's the official replacement for Webapp on the Python 2.7 platform!
I set up the Google App Engine on my computer to work with Python , so I could make my first "Hello World" App at http://localhost:8080/. In the developers section of facebook it says I need Google App Engine and Python to test an app. But my question is, can I just host the files(the .yaml and the .py) on my server account instead(once I'm done testing)?
You do not specifically need Google app engine, that i believe is just a sample app. The main thing that you need is a globally accessible web server. So that FB can reach your pages/application from their servers. So depending on the language, get a small/free hosting account and test your application from there. Or you may also try Dynamic DNS to be able to reach your local machine from the outside world http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
That example is written in Python and specifically targeted for Google App Engine. So, yes you do need Google App Engine to run that example without modification. However, almost any web hosting would suffice in general with your own application.
