Google App Engine

See ​http://code.google.com/appengine/

App Engine provides hosting of Python applications in a restricted environment. Currently Genshi does not work in this environment, because it depends on the parser module and some other things which are not available.

Work has started on providing a version of Genshi that works on App Engine on the branches/experimental/appengine/ branch. However, even when completed, this version is somewhat limited (or at least different), with the following features not available:

• Proper error reporting on errors in template expressions and code blocks.
• Interchangeable use of foo.bar and foo['bar'] in template expressions.
• Assignment to nested tuples in py:for and py:with
• Default values for py:def parameters are evaluated at compilation time, so they can't refer to data in the template context.
• Automatic decoding of non-ASCII string literals in template expressions.

It's not yet clear whether it'll be possible to fold the necessary changes into the main version of Genshi.

Note: Frameworks for Google App Engine such as Tipfy and Flask provide Genshi support.
