title: Django & App Engine - 2012 Refresh
body: <p>Before you close the topic, yes it's been asked before, but the last time was early 2010.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any up-to-date efforts to use Django on GAE? Django-norel seems a little dated, along with its effort to get JOINs (and hence Many-to-Many, which I need). I haven't gone too far with Django, so if I'd save myself a headache by changing to a different framework that still has ORM, I'll accept that as a good answer too.</p>
  
  <p>In the long run, I'm trying to run something with the ORM capabilities of Django, and the template capabilities of Django, on Google App Engine, so I'll take whatever solution meets my needs.</p>
  
  <p>(For future readers, I ended up using <a href="http://flask.pocoo.org/" rel="noreferrer">Flask</a>, and the Google App Engine's inbuilt datastore models.)</p>
