Using Beaker on Google App Engine (Django)
beaker, django, google-app-engine, session
Solution
You need to specify the session type as 'ext:google', like this. You also need to edit beaker/cache.py, deleting the section that uses pkg_resources to search for plugins, as this isn't supported on App Engine.
Problem
How do we use Beaker to implement sessions on Google App Engine? (I say Beaker because gmemsess is short-lived, and therefore not suitable). There seem to be no examples online. We're using Django 1.1 via App Engine Helper (not app-engine-patch).
