Google App Engine UI Widgets

Question

Are there any python side user interface widgets in the Google App Engine? I would like something like collapsed / extended views of Google Groups streams. Are these things related to the GWT side?

Answer 1

ToscaWidgets , in version 2, which is currently in the alpha test, is said to support App Engine (at least for tw2.corepart). I also saw posts showing ways (a bit complicated, it seemed to me) to use the current ToscaWidgets in the App Engine.

App Engine itself definitely doesn’t include such a widget package — it has WSGI (a much lower-level service that allows you to connect most of the Python web application frameworks of your choice), an extremely simple “webapp” request / response / router for simple applications , and django (in several versions - only 0.96 is part of the SDK download, but up to 1.1 for the actual service that I think), which uses templates, not widgets.

GWT is not fully affiliated with App Engine, in addition to being developed by Google. This is a client-side toolkit and can be used as best as possible with any web application as a backend, regardless of whether it was created in java, python or [your favorite language]. (Admittedly, you get some bonus features if your backend is in java.)
