Is Pinax able to be deployed on GAE?

Question

Is there any chance that an application developed with Pinax could be deployed in Google App Engine?

As I know, Pinax is based on Django, and integrates tons of applications, it is suitable for building even a social networking site. It's extremely useful but I wonder if I can deploy it on google app engine.

Thank you,

Answer 1

The main issue here is that Django ORM is not compatible with GAE's datastore but some work has already been made to port Pinax using app-engine-patch. Here is the repository.

The key of course is JOIN support for the many to many model relationships. Since this is already being solved for 'eventual consistency' context, there should be no reason that we couldn't. I'm in the middle of moving the social demo over right now.
