What about appengine_config.py file in GAE?

In addition to my post Creating Python Google App with Aptana and Pydev, the content for the file appengine_config.py will be show here. So, what about appengine_config.py?

When I was developing my GAE app, I don't remember how I got this file but is nice to have in any GAE project.

"""Sample Appstats Configuration.

There are four sections:

0) WSGI middleware declaration.
1) Django version declaration.
2) Configuration constants.
3) Configuration functions.

Also a section at the end for the remote_api handler.

# values roll over.  Increasing KEY_MODULUS causes a proportional

# on the request object (mostly the query string) to produce a more
# fine-grained path key.  The argument is a StatsProto object; this is
# a class defined in recording.py.  Useful methods are:

#   - http_method()
#   - http_path()
#   - http_query()
#   - http_status()
