Django non-rel - how do I install it?

As a new python and django developer, I'm creating a Django app on Google app engine.
Today I realized GAE helper did not support model formsets - after some research, I understand Django non-rel is the best helper patch for Django _ GAE

So I downloaded it : but I cannot find instructions on how to install it - I've spend over an hour searching and searching - but there is no instructions!!!

I even found instructions on installing Django on non-rel download but not of non-rel -

  1. How do I install Django non-rel?
  2. do I need Django 1.3 - if so how can I install 1.3 in a way that I can deploy it to GAE since GAE has Django 1.2 native?
Solution

  • Yes, the instructions are a little hidden and you can not find it via django-nonrel for some reason. Look for django-appengine instead. Check this tutorial about django-appengine. There you will also find all the installation instructions, how to use it and what to keep in mind when using it.

    And about your specific question (1). You must use the modified Django 1.3 version of django-appengine (everything described in the link above). Don't use the official Django version. Also it must be in your project directory to work properly with GAE.
