[Tutor] Still Trying to Understand GAE

[admin at gg-lab.net]

Yes Kent, i'm not worrying about it, i was just trying to find the
reason why they're doing so.

Anyway, i'm a newbye, but the GAE Evinronment is very very difficult
to understand. The only thing is thas in common with the real python
is the sintax.

Thankyou again
