Intersting that you chose a different framework for almost any field. So there is room ;) I am thinking about a google app engine port but sqlalchemy is a showstopper here .. Need the models to talk GQL ... So i stopped that port for now. Much to do in the base..

Thx, regards, khz

how about just not using sqla and use ndb(distributed with the sdk) instead?

NDB is a good hint. But the problem remains that I want PoW to be able to support SQL DBs also. I think SQLAlchemy is a really mature framework for that area. So I need to generate the models in two ways.. I think I need to separate this as an extension since I do not want to have two PoWs, where one is for GAE and one for SQL.

that's the thing with gae, if you want to pretend you aren't going to use it and instead try to abstract away that fact, you are in for a world of pain. you either do gae, or not... no waffling.
