I'm trying to send messages between xmmp clients using gogle app engine as a server, for that reason I prefer to use xmpp library for python (xmpppy) instead the xmpp library of the google app engine API. Can I add the xmpp python library to my server? I mean can I use this library instead the xmpp library of google app engine?
I don't know but your two biggest limitations will be the inability to use native libraries, and the fact that GAE only supports HTTP requests, with no access to the underlying sockets.
If your library uses native code, or relies on using sockets for communications, you won't be able to use it. If it's pure python and can work with an HTTP based transport, you should be ok.

I'm currently building an API in Rails to control devices registered with an Azure IoT Hub.
Now, in the Azure documentation, I only see Python/Node/.Net guides to control the end devices.
I require Rails for certain libraries, and hence used it to build my API. But now I've hit this road block.
Is there no way I can send cloud-to-device messages? I don't see any official Rails support. I only require c2d messaging.
Edit : The only other way I can think of with my limited knowledge is to deploy a small Python/Flask app on the same server and have my Rails code make HTTP requests to it. Is this a bad approach?
I do recommend to use the Azure HttpTrigger Function for your solutions as an API integrator/mediator.
What's the difference between the python version of Client Libraries for Google Maps Web Services and API Client Library for Python?
I thought the latter is supposed to be the comprehensive library to connect to all Google products; but I guess not?
I am trying to communicate with the QuickBooks Desktop Application using the Quick Books Web Connector (must be done in Python). I am not very familiar with SOAP- I was wondering whether anyone had a template/guide for communicating with the QBWC. I have read QuickBooks Web Connector Program Guide but there was no sample Python code.
The only requirement for which language to use with the Web Connector is to have a functioning SOAP server. From the Programmer's Guide:
What Platforms and Languages can I use in my Implementation?
The web service should be able to run on any platform that supports standard SOAP for communication. Platforms that are known to work include Apache Tomcat (Axis)and ASP (.Net).
As long as you can roll a WSDL-first SOAP server in Python, you can interface with the Web Connector. Unfortunately, it appears that might be a significant hurdle. Check out this question for suggestions on possible ways to accomplish that.
Once you get that working, the QuickBooks SDK provides bare-bones examples of a functioning web service. That should provide a sufficient template/guide for you to successfully interface with QuickBooks through the Web Connector.
About to embark on a Java project using Spring Security to create a Restful Web Service (JSON) that will use Kerberos authentication to authenticate users in Active Directory.
I'm not locked into using Java and am considering the use of Python to gain new skills and look at potential alternative platforms.
So far I have looked at Twisted and Web2Py but they don't seem to have support for Kerberos nor could I find information around implementing Kerberos support.
Does anyone know of frameworks supporting the above deployment or pointers to get me started?
Python Eve is a restful api written in Python that uses mongo as its backend.
It provides a simple class that you can use to implement your own authentication which would allow you to use the python kerberos module
I use this setup but with ldap instead of kerb.
The underlying web framwork behind eve is Flask.
I have a web server with Django, hosted with Apache server. I would like to configure Google App Engine for the email server. My web server should be able to use Google App Engine, when it makes any email send using EmailMessage or sendmail infrastructure of Google Mail API.
I learnt that by using Remote API, I can access Google App Engine server from my main web server. However, I could not access the Mail APIs supported by Google App Engine.
Is the Remote API strictly for Datastore? If so, can only the DB read from it and no other API calls can?
The example code for the remote APi gives you an interactive console from which you can access any of the modules in your application. I see no requirement that they be only datastore operations.
You may want to use a third-party SMTP relaying service. Here's a list.
Most of them have a simple API that lets you forward your email to their service. That way, you're not bound by the AppEngine's limits. The more reputable ones also take care of headers necessary so your app isn't tagged as a spam sender (which hopefully, it isn't :-)
