Lakshman has an awesome tutorial on how to deploy Twitter-Follow on GAE. He muses in the end how easy it is to deploy this on GAE:

“You don’t bother about deployment, server maintenance or log files. Rather, check out the awesome application admin dashboard and if you run out of the allocated free quota, buy some more resource time. Its costs $0.10/CPU hour and one cent for 100 emails sent!

A lot is happening in the field of App Engine support for twitter API. There is even a new App Engine module for twitter oAuth authentication, out of the box, as there is one for django.

App Engine is a powerful platform. django is a high productive framework. Combining them is very powerful and there is also an ongoing project for enhancing the the patch project and making it totally compatible with django.”

Can a Web2Py version be far behind?
