pylons in appengine

Hello again, after more than a month. Sorry you had to wait. So I have got pylons in google appengine up and running. Haven't done anything yet, just an "empty" application. Anyway, I had to compile my own python, as OpenSUSE 11.2 already contains version 2.6 and doesn't seem to have 2.5 packages in my current set of repositories. After I compiled python for the first time (./configure ; make ; sudo make install) and run python2.5, I saw that I could not use commandline properly, so I installed readline-devel. Then I compiled again, tried a bit of the appengine-monkey guide, found out that something wasn't compiled in, installed another devel package and went again. The packages I had to install were:
  • readline-devel
  • zlib-devel
  • openssl-devel
  • sqlite3-devel
Then I successfully run the bloody thing. After some mistake on my side I decided to go for Pylons-0.9.7 instead of the fresh 1.0-prerelease and I installed an older webob as one of the comments on appengine-monkey wiki advices. That's about it for now. I will keep you posted with updates.
