[omaha] Django-nonrel?

[Shawn Hermans]

All,
Since we were talking about subjects for upcoming meetings, has anyone had
any experience using Django-nonrel? I currently started using Django-nonrel
with MongoDB as a test run.  So far everything seems to be working well.  I
had to make some modifications to my existing code to work with
Django-nonrel, but overall it was rather painless.  However, I still have a
number of unresolved questions.

1. Has anyone had any experience using Django-nonrel with App Engine
instead of Mongo? Are there any major issues moving from one to another?
2. Has anyone tried Django-nonrel and run into any performance/scaling
issues?
3. Lastly, has anyone had any luck with geospatial applications on either
Mongo or App Engine? GeoDjango won't work as it requires C libraries and a
geospatial database such as PostGIS.  Some initial searching shows that
both Mongo and App Engine support geospatial, but not via Django-nonrel.
 Meaning any geospatial code I wrote wouldn't be portable.  If there isn't
a good solution, then maybe that is an excuse to write one.

Let me know if anyone has any guidance.

Thanks,
Shawn
