Django on Google App Engine

Question

How much of a pain is it to run a Django App on App Engine? Also, does the Datastore work as-is with Django?

Answer 1

App Engine includes version 0.96 of Django out-of-the-box, but it is quite crippled.

App Engine Helper and app-engine-patch supposedly fix this problem to some degree, but I haven't tried either myself.
