在Google App Engine上使用web2py进行身份验证

Question

Having never used web2py before, I am considering using it in a new App Engine application. But I am not able to ascertain whether its access control mechanisms will work as is on app engine.

Can I use the web2py user framework totally independent of the app engine infrastructure? Meaning that I can add local users and roles and use them that do not depend on Google or OpenID authentication?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the web2py Auth system on App Engine. The only limitation is that if you are using the Google Datastore, auth.accessible_query() won't work because it requires a join.
