I should've taken the time to search before hacking my own version. Need to go back and apply your urlencode fix though. Thanks.

Thank you very much, I too think that the problem come from Django, I tried using GAE SDK, without importing anything from Django, may I re-think about how to implement things in my project again.

I havn't used Django as a framework before , even not think to associate it with GAE, for the moment I am trying webpy as a frame work.

may be the solution is just to import the "django.utils.http import urlencode" I mean to include http to django utils in GAE.

again thank you very much for your help and for the links.

Are you sure you have Django in your python path? You might also need to
use Django trunk; I have not tested this using the version included in
Google App Engine (which is .96 and very far away from trunk). This link (
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/djang...) tells you how to use
trunk on GAE.

Good luck!

Finally got some time to be playing around again - this worked great, I did update the json code to use django's simplejson (I was using that in my original crappy friendfeed.py :) - but other than that it was as you patched it and everything was smooth sailing.

Great! This is something I've been waiting for. I hacked around it to get simple retrieval to work but I think I'll go ahead and replace my code with this.

No problem; mine was hacky too for a long time. The thing that got me was urllib2 will automatically set the correct content-type when POSTing but urlfetch does not. I was stuck on that for hours.

This is great! Thanks a lot. My own hacked up version was barely functional. :)
