Has anyone thought about using Nirvanix with App Engine to upload and convert videos? If you have is it possible using App Engine's blob property? 

 This is one of the goals of our python library is the ability to interface with Nirvanix from the App Engine.  I just created an application (Didn't know it came out of closed beta) and will be testing the libraries to make sure they are working.  I will report tonight after I have some time with it and let everyone know how thing work out.

Have you tested it yet? 

I have a version of the AppEngine code working but only partially tested (developer testing isn't quite full testing).  I will be releasing a test application, unit tests as well as a compatible SDK.  The main problem is with uploads since you have to use the fetch API.  I have opted to exclude them and encourage using the browser instead for uploads.  For downloads its questionable if its useful in this form since you have to write all data to a database entry in the Google system.  While downloading to the database could be useful this should be done external to the SDK for this version.

 I have a test site setup for testing, it uses a hard coded appkey and user for the test.  You can see the site here:

http://nirvanixdev.appspot.com/

The site currently calls listfolder, and getOptimalUrls parsing the results into a file / folder structure.  I will have the full test suite I am writing available as well on the site soon.

The wrapper allows any call not just those two, they are just an example to show a real world example.

Hi Barry - do you have an example of connecting & retrieving from Nirvanix handy?
