Question

I am making a Google AppEngine application and am doubting were I should store (sensitive) configuration data like credentials.

Answer 1

Store them in a module. You can go simple, like having a config.py module with, say:

AMAZON_KEY = 'XXXX'

Then use:

import config
service = my_amazon_service(config.AMAZON_KEY)

Or have a slightly more sophisticated config object that allows you to have sensible defaults for your app, namespaced config keys etc.
