While not being able to use Django's ORM (or admin) is frustrating, you can still use Django's API, like routes, middleware, templates, forms and so on. That's far from useless and Django on GAE is actually as default as it can get. I actually have an older project made with Django for GAE. Haven't updated it and haven't tested it in a while, but it should still work and one might find it useful for inspiration: https://github.com/alexandru/TheBuzzEngine

For what it's worth, I've got my own Disqus alternative: https://github.com/alexandru/TheBuzzEngine You can see it in action here: http://thebuzzengine.appspot.com/ However, on my blog I have switched back to Disqus. Mostly because the only thing bothering me about Disqus is its bloatness which makes the page take a performance hit, but other than that it works great and you can export your comments at any time.

Hi, For a developer, making your own Disqus is actually easy. And I have done so myself, with free hosting on top of Google's App Engine ... http://alexn.org/TheBuzzEngine/ + https://github.com/alexandru/TheBuzzEngine Don't expect the same polish as Disqus. This is meant for my usage mostly and I have simple needs.
