How to make Satchmo work in Google App Engine

Question

I understand that there are big differences in data-store, but surely since django is bundled and it abstracts data-store away from Satchmo, something can be done?

Truth is that I am not a Python guy, been mostly Java/PHP thus far, but I am willing to learn.

Plus, if this is not possible today, lets band together and form a new Open Source project to "extend" satchmo or perhaps branch it, for compatibility?

Answer 1

Possible if:

• Someone writes a generic ORM to Bigtable mapper. Most probably, Appengine Patch Guys

• Someone rewrites the views and models of Satchmo to remove existing ORM queries and use the minimal functionality of the ORM provided by the patch project, should be either you or the Satchmo guys.

• Someone hacks around a lot using the django helper project, can only be helper project guys.
