Anybody used Google app engine, and wanna share their experience?

I got the news too late, and no more invites were avialable. Anyone
who is using this, and their views ...

I think everyone was given a denied message initially. I got an
acceptance note around 10:15, but haven't had time to play around with
it yet.

Ya same here. Will try to play around with it later tonight, but first
looks say running django apps with only modifying the db part should
be possible.

It's pretty slick -- and much of it is influenced by Django, which is
incredibly flattering.

I have a sample app set up here:

http://everyblock.appspot.com/

It's just a simple CGI app, for starters. I've started trying to hook
Django into it but have had some problems: my app works locally with
the dev_appserver.py that they provide with the SDK (it's sort of like
the Django runserver), but it throws a 500 error once I upload it to
the Google server, and I haven't figured out how to find out the
error.

Here's the code I've been using, for anybody who has an account and is
interested in playing around. Note that it goes in a file called
blog.py, and blog.py has to be pointed-to from your app.yaml file.

====================================================

from wsgiref import handlers
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
from django.http import HttpResponse
import os

def hello_world(request):
return HttpResponse("You're at IP address %s." %
request.META['REMOTE_ADDR'])

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', hello_world),
)

def main():
settings.configure(
DEBUG=True,
ROOT_URLCONF='blog',
)
handlers.CGIHandler().run(WSGIHandler())

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

====================================================

Can someone who has access do me a favour and write a hello world
application which echos back the WSGI environment.

def application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = str(environ)

response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),
('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)

return [output]

I am interested to see what the values are for:

wsgi.multiprocess
wsgi.multithread
wsgi.run_once

To save me wading through the documentation at this point (no time),
can some one point me at anything which talks about application
process persistence. This is in part why I am interested in the above
values.

Either way, it looks I am out of a job now with mod_wsgi. :-(

Here you go, Graham:

'wsgi.multiprocess': True,
'wsgi.multithread': False,
'wsgi.run_once': True,
'wsgi.url_scheme': 'http',
'wsgi.version': (1, 0),
