GAE framework ver.2

[Anton Danilchenko]

Today we have started develop new version 2 of GAE framework.

In this release we have the next goals:

1. delete Django dependencies: replace Django Templates to Jinja2, Django Forms to WTForms
2. add manage.py for all projects. You can run dev server, deploy project to server, run tests and run other useful operations
3. changed project structure. Now we have one directory with appengine SDK, gae framework library and manage.py file. On each run command manage.py create project_name we have created new directory for each project

With manage.py we have build automatically scripts to do many useful operations in background. For example, on deploy project to server, we have compile templates, and execute other operations, and after this upload to server ready to use version of project.

I am ready to talk with you about ideas. And also I am waiting for an experienced Python developers, who can help me do this great mission.

Today released next version of GAE framework. This is new generation, and currently under active development.

Run easy_install gaeframework or pip install gaeframework to try latest version 2.0.1 of GAE framework.

Now GAE SDK installed automatically with GAE framework!

Thank you Anton for the new release. We got it using easy_install:

These changes especially involving easy_install and manage.py will
involve some learning and configuration for me. I've got my test
installation still online at http://niklas-app.appspot.com/ with GAE
Framework so now I'm going to update it to this latest version and
learn how to use manage.py and if will need to create a new project to
update the old deployment. We also use web2py which has an
authentication system we can look at for inspiration how to add more
authentication options to gaeframework.
Best regards,

Thanks Niklas!

You can use gae-manage.py around file system to create new projects/applications and deploy project to server. Now we have a new command gae-manage.py install project_name.app_name to create symlink to application in your project. For example, you can use single application "user" in 10 your projects. And on each update of GAE framework you have updated version of installed applications automatically!

Today I have released next version - 2.0.3 with some improvements. Please, upgrade to this release.

(changed) Ignored .pyc and .pyo files from distribution package
(added) Ported all applications from gaeframework-v1 to "apps" directory.
(added) Script setup.py to install with easy_install and pip.
(changed) File manage.py renamed to gae-manage.py.
(added) New command "install" to gae-manage.py.
(changed) Now in new project we have symlink to "user" application instead of copy of this app

Best regards, Anton.
