Nothing to see there yet, but may be worth keeping an eye on: http://djangy.com

It seems to be Heroku for Django, or something similar.

Interesting.

It's going to be hard for Heroku-style outfits to compete with Google
AppEngine, which runs most python frameworks, and gives a very
substantial allocation of resources for zero cost.

I wonder what Djangy's "value proposition" is?

Honestly, I haven't a clue and the site doesn't contain much information yet. Still, it may be interesting to see what they do with it.

Well, given that local file access is not available on app engine, or a
traditional database, I could easily see a lot of people choosing it
over appengine. Porting djangopeople.net has not been remotely trivial.
And django only works on it if you do quite a bit of work on just about
every standard app out there.

Agree with that.  Plus appengine is so "similar but different" to django that if you work on both it tends to make your brain melt at times.

If you are used to working with appengine and know how to arrange your data in google's bigtable to get the performance you need then it is a good way to go.

If you have a django app and decide to port it to appengine you might find it more work than you bargain for.  In particular, if you are trying to get your appengine hosting for free there are tight limits on execution times etc and you can end up doing a lot of work to get things running smoothly.

So I'd guess this is a good market for people that start hosting their own django app, then find they need more capacity and go for a cloud solution.
