Can I use Django 1.2 in the Google App Engine?

Question

I want to use the in operator in my Google App Engine project, which was introduced in Django 1.2 :

 {% if "bc" in "abcdef" %} This appears since "bc" is a substring of "abcdef" {% endif %} 

I found out that you can use version 1.0 or 1.1on GAE, but nothing for 1.2. Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can link any version of Django with your application and deploy it.

Django 1.2.4 will almost certainly be included in the next version of App Engine; this is in the pre-release SDK 1.4.2, which was released late last week. Assuming nothing happens horribly wrong, the preliminary functions usually go to the production site in a week or two.

Answer 2

I seem to have found this - http://www.deck.cc/django_1.2_on_google_app_engine.html

Answer 3

I don’t know if you can use this version, but you can probably use SmileyChris smart_if snippet , which was the basis of the extended if functions in Django 1.2.
