Update on Google App Engine

I've only played with it for a couple of hours so far, but I'm quite impressed. The command-line problem I had originally was the biggest hurdle, everything else after that seems to be well thought out and the documentation is very straight-forward and easy to understand. I've been meaning to learn Python Web programming for some years but never quite got around to it, so my initial difficulties might be down to this, and maybe its early adopter time, but I think Google could put some time into making it all more accessible to the hobbyist and dabbler -- I'm looking for something which is less of a productivity sink than ASP.NET and but for the buzz of the AppEngine and the fact I had other work to avoid I dont think I would have persisted:-)

An aside on difficulties with Scripting Language Web Frameworks
I dabbled with Grails, Trails, Boo, Castle, Turbogears and some others best forgotten, and yes, Rails, and they all defeated me comprehensively. Of the lot, Ruby on Rails would be the one I'm most likely to have another look at -- the setups are the problem always -- say what you will about ASP.NET, Asp and JSP with something like Tomcat, you pretty much always know where you are -- it either works out of the box or you need to reinstall or apply a patch (sorry, service pack). But with the rest, you are always wondering if a space in a Windows Path may be causing the problem you are having. Still the BitNami Ruby and Rails stacks are amazing, head and shoulders above and really give the casual user the chance to check out these technologies without having to take a six week course
