Hello friends, today I am going to tell how to run django on appengine with non relational database.

I am assuming that you have installed appengine sdk, python and django.

Python – 2.7

Django- 1.5

Appengine – 1.9.6

Download following packages ,

djangotoolbox https://github.com/django-nonrel/djangotoolbox

django-autoload https://bitbucket.org/twanschik/django-autoload

django-dbindexer https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-dbindexer

Now create django project named testapp,

Now unzip all the above packages and paste in your django project , now your project should like this ,

Now download django-testapp from https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-testapp and unzip it elsewhere, and copy manage.py file from this to our projct root directory.It will prompt you to replace with previous one ? click on yes.
