I’m sitting next to the creator of python and listening to the History of Django talk.  It’s very interesting to see how the Django framework morphed into what we know it today.

Jacob Kaplan-Moss and Guido Van Rossum just had an interesting side discussion about how Django should do things, making it easier to run on Google App Engine.  After seeing Guido’s talk, the latest backend changes to allow a non rdbms database and the side conversation, I think there will be many exciting developments in Google App Engine in the next year.
