What are the best approaches to convert Django app to Google App Engine?

I may be late to the party, but I've been playing around with Google App Engine. My plan was to convert an existing open-source Django app to run on GAE.

I went through the O'reilly book, Programming Google App Engine to get the gist of GAE. I'm ready to start diving in, but I'm curious as to the best way to approach it.

I Django-nonrel currently the best option to use?

My Google-fu isn't really turning up many examples of people converting a Django app to run on GAE. The few that I have found seem to date to 2010 or earlier. Is this because people are not finding it worthwhile to use GAE with Django?

What has been your experience porting Django apps to GAE?

Google App Engine now supports SQL databases so you can have a regular django app on GAE. Here is the official documentation, and here is a nice tutorial from another related question.

I have personally run django sql (and nonrel) apps on gae and they have been fine.
