yaml and gae

Yaml (Yet Another Markup Language) is Google's prefered way of dealing with the structure of its web applications and in this case the Google Application Engine.

The documentation I can find is located at;
yaml.org
The getting started guide for configuring an app gives something of an overview.

For some strange reason an example on how to deal with a single static file is not found in the documentation. Looks like I will have to deal with things a little different to the way i am used to.
I also seem to have a problem with mime types using mime_type setting. The mime_type is overwritten by googles settings somewhere along the line.

The app.yaml file is far from alone, there is also settings.py file which is used by python and django also has a settings file (django_bootstrap.py) to add to the mix.
Example django bootstrap file.
