Django Forms API in GAE SDK 1.7.4

I have read under SDK release notes 1.7.3 that GAE supports Django 1.4. I know that Django models can't be used in GAE as we have Google's own models. But what about Django Form API, particularly displaying a form using a template? Can that be used in SDK 1.7.4?

While you can't use django model forms, GAE provides a forms library that provides similar functionality for db.Model based models.

I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for ndb.

Yes, of course you can use the form API and display it in the template. But what you can't do with plain Django on GAE is build a modelform automatically from a db.Model or ndb.Model. You have to use plain forms, defining the fields and setting the data back to the model entity manually.
