Pyxer rocks!

Nice work. I just started looking at it. I love the routing system and
it's simplicity.

So far it seems the easiest way to get right into coding with GAE.

w00t!

Thanks!

I am planning to create a screen cast the next days to show the first
steps in using Pyxer. Hope this makes the first steps even more
understandable.

I almost got stuck when xgae didn't work for me. I wasn't until I dug
into the code that I realized it wasn't suppose to work for linux /
source installs. Perhaps a more explicit error message like "xgae only
works for default installs on windows and mac osx, please use
dev_appserver.py from the google sdk on linux, source installs and all
other platforms"

Another solution would be for linux users to install their pyxer
project directly into the sdk directory and then have xgae look one
folder up ../ for dev_appserver.py

On a side note, I was able to get pyxer working with the
appcelerator.org entourage project. I highly recommend checking it out
for RIA applications, along with the titanium project (open source Air
competitor) which allows using python in place of javascript.

Oh... good point. I'll add something like this.

Isn't there a default place where the Google stuff gets installed to?

I love the Titanium project too. How did you get both connected? I would
be grateful if you could share your experience.

nope. also applies to anyone who prefers to do source installs. could
also add another command line parameter --sdk=/path/to/sdk and then
save it in an .ini file

oops, no I haven't got it working with Titanium... .which is certainly
an interesting idea, I got it working with Entourage their ajax
framework. after years of struggling with web-based UI's I think
they're really onto something here. I'll post details when I've had a
chance to kick the tires a little more.
