Google’s App Engine open to Python enthusiasts
Google has just announced their new hosted platform called App Engine and it will provide access to it for free (for now…) to the first 10.000 or so users on a first come, first serve basis.
The platform will empower creators of web applications with features very similar to those provided by Amazon’s web service (AWS).
App Engine offers Python runtime which is specially interesting to me since I’m currently getting acquainted to it for a bioinformatics project I’m working on. So, it looks like it has come in good time!
Although I haven’t manage to grab an account on Google’s App Engine (yet!), I’m sure they will be distributing access to the platform in a timely fashion. Got my invite!
Meanwhile, I’ll look out for the SDK and documentation.

I’m very interested in App Engine, will you blog about how you managed to get your apps working, and the choices, for storage, for example.
Thanks
Alcides, thanks for your interest. I’m still very green with python and anything I’ll be working on at the moment will be very simple and rather boring to the experienced python coder.
But if I do feel that anything is really worth showing, I’ll surely post about it.
