    <p>So I've done the trivial "warmup" apps with GAE. Now I'd like to build something with a more complex directory structure. Something along the lines of:</p> <pre><code>siteroot/ models/ controllers/ controller1/ controller2/ ... templates/ template1/ template2/ ... </code></pre> <p>..etc. The controllers will be Python modules handling requests. They would then need to locate (Django-style) templates in associated folders. Most of the demo apps I've seen resolve template paths like this:</p> <pre><code>path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'myPage.html') </code></pre> <p>...the __ file __ property resolves to the currently executing script. So, in my above example, if a Python script were running in controllers/controller1/, then the 'myPage.html' would resolve to that same directory -- controllers/controller1/myPage.html -- and I would rather cleanly separate my Python code and templates.</p> <p>The solution I've hacked together feels... hacky:</p> <pre><code>base_paths = os.path.split(os.path.dirname(__file__)) template_dir = os.path.join(base_paths[0], "templates") </code></pre> <p>So, I'm just snipping off the last element of the path for the currently running script and appending the template directory to the new path. The other (non-GAE specific) solutions I've seen for resolving Python paths seem pretty heavyweight (such as splitting paths into lists and manipulating accordingly). Django seems to have an answer for this, but I'd rather stick to the GAE API, vs. creating a full Django app and modifying it for GAE.</p> <p>I'm assuming anything hard-coded would be non-starter, since the apps live on Google's infinite server farm. So what's a better way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
