google app engine - GAE + Python vs Webfaction + Python + django - for a relative new dev -
basically have webfaction space (assume purposes of question free).
i trying learn python created simple web applications on google app engine using eclipse + pydev development.
so far have basic functionality working in app engine, though have had frustration library imports not working , whatnot (this may not app engine specific).
so, worth switch webfaction, , leave gae?

this seems reasonable. nothing wrong using gae, eclipse, , pydev learn python web dev.

you haven't provided of reason leave gae you've started there. think "some frustration" normal learning on platform.
beyond think descend general gae learning vs. gae bad learning discussion.
so let me started...
since gae 'platform service' (paas) makes deployment , maintenance simple. can right coding , not worry platform. well, platform provides services, such e-mail , authentication make tasks easy. example, on first pass can make use of authentication api (supports google , openid authentication think) , leave more complicated authentication options later.
on other hand, platform kinda' non-standard. datastore main issue , affects django. that's pain because means django running on gae different standard django , django docs reading might not apply gae, etc.
here current thread getting started django on gae (which addresses datastore issue): http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-python/browse_thread/thread/8d1c945d27b6305f
hope helps.
