Setting up Django on Google App Engine for DataStore

How do I setup Django on Google App Engine to use DataStore? I did a bunch of searches and some seemed to point to something called django-nonrel. But I couldn't find anything that looked like a definitive guide up-to-date (dated around 2012-2013).

The djangae project seems to be what you're looking for. From their documentation:

Djangae (jan-gee) is a Django app that allows you to run Django applications on Google App Engine, including (if you want to) using Django's models with the App Engine Datastore as the underlying database.

It has a Database backend that supports AppEngine's Datastore, so you can use Django's ORM. In addition to Django's default fields, a number of other field types are added in the project.

You should consider the list of limitations carefully though.
