storagebin

django-nonrel based project for using Google App Engine as a REST-ish blobstore.

storagebin is based on the django-testapp template for creating a Google App Engine app with django-nonrel. Run ./setup.sh APP_ID VERSION_ID to initialize a development environment; this will download all dependencies and generate an app.yaml.

For use with storagebin_js.

Development Dependencies

• a standard POSIX shell
• git and hg binaries in path

Tested Dev Environments

• Cygwin (bash) on Windows 7 (64 bit)
• OSX 10.8.x (64 bit)

Development Commands

• run unit tests: python manage.py test storagebin
• load example BinOwner for local manual testing: python manage.py loaddata storagebin/fixtures/test_data.yaml
• run local dev server: python manage.py runserver

Production Deploy

1. deploy the project to GAE: python manage.py deploy. This could take 10 minutes. May want to wait a few more minutes after it finishes for the HRD to stabilize.
2. Create the first owner by connecting to the remote datastore - python manage.py remote shell - and executing the following with the remote Python interpreter:

from storagebin.models import BinOwner
bin_owner = BinOwner(email='example@example.com', key='example')
bin_owner.save()
