No, this cannot be done. However, as Nick Johnson points out, you can use remote_api to do what you need.
Don't forget, you can have multiple versions of an application running against the same datastore. Only 1 version of the app is your "default" and gets your non appspot.com domain name, but you can have completely different codebases running against the same datastore/memcache addressable with ..appspot.com.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
