Are you sure your database is well maintained and efficient (good indexes, normalised, clean etc) Or can you not make use of messaging queues, so you keep your rails crud app, then the jobs are just added to a queue. Python scripts on the backend (or different machine) read from the queue, process then insert back into...

This depends on lots of things like the size of the entities and the number of values that need to look up in the index, so it's best to benchmark it for your specific application. Also beware that if you find that on a sunny day it takes e.g. 10 seconds to load all your items, that probably means that some small frac...

Basically you don't have the old limit of 1000 entities per query anymore, but consider using a reasonable limit, because you can hit the time out error and it's better to get them in batches so users won't wait during load time.

You'd use the datastore to create a union as an entity class, with a description and a name.

This is impossible (without an external service). DBs are made for this to store data longer than one request. What you could do is to safe the dict "in" the users session, but I don't recommend that. Unless you have millions of entries every DB is fast enough even sqlite.

Using the website's public API, when it exists, is by far the best solution. That is quite why the API exists, it is the way that the website administrators say "use our content". Scraping may work one day and break the next, and it does not imply the website administrator's consent to have their content reused.

No, this is not due to the HRD -- auto_now is implemented purely in the client library. After you write the entity, the property's value does not correspond to what's written to the datastore, but to what was last read. I'm not sure what you'll see for a brand new entity but it's probably still not the same as what w...

You are going to have to implement that feature yourself, I doubt very much that a relational db will do that for you, and for good reason: it means updating a potentially large number of rows when one row is deleted. Are you sure you need this? It could become expensive.

Download and install is a harder sell. People are more reluctant to do it, and once they have done it, you own the problem of platform compatibility, and you have installed code to update or avoid as your game evolves. Java applets eliminate all that mess. Presumably also flash or html5.

At the time you execute create_all, models.py has never been imported, so no class is declared. Thus, create_all does not create any table. To solve this problem, import models before running create_all or, even better, don't separate the db object from the model declaration.

The point of using Jython is that you can write Python code and have it run on the JVM. Don't ruin that by making your Python into Java. If -- if -- it turns out that your data structure is too slow, you can drop-in replace it with a Java version. But that's for the optimisation stage of programming, which comes later...

Generally, the decision shouldn't be one of speed - the Python classes will be implemented in terms of Java classes anyway, even if they don't inherit from them. So, the speed should be roughly comparable, and at most you would save a couple of method calls per operation. The bigger question is what you plan on doing ...

This might be a bit of a noob question, so I apologize in advance. How do I make a web server running flask+redis serve binary files as a response to a link/query? I want the response to the link to be either some AJAX action such as changing a div, or popping up an "unavailable" response, or to serve back some binary ...

If you set workers = 1 in your gunicorn configuration, two processes will be created: 1 master process and 1 worker process. When you use worker_class = eventlet, the simultaneous connections are handled by green threads. Green threads are not like real threads. In simple terms, green threads are functions (coroutines)...

If I deploy Django using Gunicorn with the Eventlet worker type, and only use one process, what happens under the hood to service the 1000 (by default) worker connections? What parts of Django are copied into each thread? Are any parts copied?

On the newer Cedar stack, there are no issues with spawning multiple processes. Each dyno is a virtual machine and has no particular limitations except in memory and CPU usage (about 512 MB of memory, I think, and 1 CPU core). Following the newer installation instructions for some stacks such as Python will result in...

I am aware of the memory limitations of the Heroku platform, and I know that it is far more scalable to separate an app into web and worker dynos. However, I still would like to run asynchronous tasks alongside the web process for testing purposes. Dynos are costly and I would like to prototype on the free instance tha...

PyCharm is an IDE created by JetBrains. Originally, JetBrains only had one product, IntelliJ IDE (a Java IDE), and PyCharm and all the other products were spawned from that one highly successful product. As for which language, I would suggest trying to do something small (but feature rich enough to be a holistic test) ...

I just want to add, that if it is a requirement for you that it is compatible with GAE, then I think Django is the best choise. Playframework is of version 2.0 no longer compatible with GAE.

It depends on you. What do you want more: learn new programming language or learn how to make web apps? I just started few PLay tutorials and it's really great. PLay 2 is even more amazing than previous one. I'd like to learn Scala, so it's perfect for me, but also because of that it's not GAE compatible anymore, but c...

Just put your desired url mapping before the admin mapping in your root urls.py. The first match for the request will be taken, because django goes the url mappings from top to down. Just remember that you don't use an url the admin normally needs or provides because this will never match with a custom mapping in front...

Scenario: A Django app generates a lot of small files related to objects in different models. I've done a lot of search for avoiding generation of large number of files in a single directory, when using the default Filestorage. Is django-fsfield the only open source solution for this? Anything else you would recommend ...
How to manage user-specific database connections in a Pyramid Web Application?

The best way to do this that I know is to use the same database with multiple schemas. Unfortunately I don't think this works with MySQL. The idea is that you connection pool engines to the same database and then when you know what user is associated with the request you can switch schemas for that connection.
