GAE : Open Source Django Apps - django

Am looking for open source Django apps in Google App engine. I want to play around with the code and learn in the process.
Not mandatory, but Would be great feature in the app:
- account registration/login
- image/file upload

This link has some pointers to open source stuff running on GAE. One of them is Niubi, which looks like a useful start.

If you're looking to learn Django why don't you start with their tutorial? It's a great learning tool and takes roughly an hour to go through.

Render stl files stored in django app with Blender

I'm a beginner on python and blender, and, as my technical expertise is not quite good, I will try to explain as simple as I can. At first i'm using Django framework to build a simple app where i have a form used to upload stl files (file.stl). After uploading i would like to click the stl file from django app and open it in blender GUI app. Is this possible? If possible could you please give me some hints on how to start, any docs or tutorials.
Thanks in advance!

ImportError in Django Rest Framework with Google App Engine

I have develop a simple app to learn Django rest framework and then uploaded it into Google app engine. But each time I try to access my data it shows me "no module name rest_framework". it works ok if I dont use Google App engine and stop working if I use (both local install or deploy the codes). I am using django 1.4 and using Cloud SQL. Can anyone please tell me what might be the problem?

A bit late but might help someone else, I was also trying to get a solution for this error then I came across this link which has all the thirdparty apps, google app engine support. It doesn't have rest_framework.
So a as a solution you will have to copy the third-party library's pure-Python source code into your application's source code.
here is a solution in detail.
Hope that helps!

Google App Engine, Django, CloudSQL and Images

Currently porting some Django projects over to Google App Engine.
I am using Python 2.7, Django 1.4 and Google CloudSQL.
The problem I have is with an Admin driven Gallery.
Handling image upload seems to be a problem, using ImageField I am getting an erorr on mkdir command as GAE wont allow a local write.
I am a little stuck and solutions seem quite confused, I am using CloudSQL due to its compatibility with the old MySQL databases that ran the sites previously.
How can I get the gallery back up and running without local storage? I have been researching use of GAE blobstore, but posts seem quite varied and unhelpful.
Cheers
Kevin
You'll have to rewrite ImageField to use the BlobStore instead of files.
A quick google search suggests someone might have already done this:

Is it still possible to use django-mediagenerator on Google App Engine

I've been working on a existing project at a new company and one of the problems we're running into is Javascript code duplication. We're working in Google App Engine, and I have heard of the Django media generator asset manager which seems like it could solve some of our problems. However, after reading through the docs on that page and pages like this one on running Django in Google App Engine, I'm not sure if it is even possible to run django-mediagenerator on Google App engine.
Is it still possible to use django-mediagenerator on Google App Engine? Has the project gone stale? Is there some other media generator that I should be using in app engine?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Django-mediagenerator is developed with app-engine in mind, as you can see in this blog post.
So : yes you can go with it ;-)
As an alternative I've had some success using webassets as an asset manager in Google App Engine, although because of the limitations of the production environment its a command line process before deployment.
There's a basic app engine example in the repository, so it's fairly quick to setup.

Comment framework in Google App Engine

Django’s has a comments framework with auto forms and its built in comment model
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/comments/
, is there any similar open source apps that can run this in Google App Engine with its datastore too? Thanks alot.
To my understanding the Django Comment Framework is little loved and only slightly maintained. I'm not aware of a port or a similar undertaking which works directly on app engine. You might be able to get the original comment framenwiork running using django-norel. Or You might use something like Disqus.
