Simple Google App Engine RSVP

I am a very, very basic Google App Engine RSVP system. I do weddings and parties. I'll be here all week, folks.

It's essentially just one RSVP form and a details page. It doesn't have a secret word system, because those are clunky.

It sends confirmation emails and theres a report you can view to see who's been RSVPing.

Features:

• A form that takes participant info and stores it
• Automated confirmation emails
• Confirmation screen on submission
• Simple report for organisers to see who has RSVPed
• Details page for displaying event details
• Nothing else. That's the idea.

Originally loosely based on http://larry-laura-rsvp.googlecode.com

Possible future features:

• Optional "email the organiser" every time someone RSVPs
• More configuration so that you don't have to change my details out all over the place
• Separate config file so that all configuration is done in one place
• Option to pre-load invitees so you can see whose RSVP is outstanding

Installation

You deploy this thing yourself as a google app engine app. Prerequisites:

• Python 2.6 or later
• Google app engine SDK for Python
• A place to deploy to: You need a Google account and empty app engine app created (your_project_name.appspot.com address)

Creating Your Site

• Download and extract the source
• Remove any existing details and replace with your own in app.yaml, all template HTML, variables in main.py
• Test on your local computer by running dev_appserver.py path_to_your_app from the SDK and point a browser at http://localhost:8080
• Deploy to GAE site using the app engine tools: appcfg.py update name_of_app_folder/
• Share the link and watch the RSVPs roll in
• Party!
