One day before Ubuntu 10.04 is released, I just can't wait so I built a live, persistent Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB flash drive. I recently decided to install Windows 7 on my really, really old laptop which only has 40GB hard-drive, partitioning for a dual-boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu would not leave too much space left for Windows. So I wanted to move my entire Google App Engine development environment computer onto a USB flash drive. I paid $10 for a 4GB Microcenter-brand USB flash drive.
But I am quickly disappointed to find out that Python 2.5 which is still a requirement for Google App Engine has been permanently removed from Ubuntu 10.04. So it looks like I would have to take an alternative route which is using Java. Of course, there are worse things in life than having to develop Java-based Google App Engine applications. Having said that, I will monitor any news coming out Google I/O 2010, since I have a feeling it's about the right time that App Engine moves to Python 2.6. Google I/O seems like the right setting for this announcement.

Is there any news on how to use GAE on Python 2.6 on Ubuntu 10.04?
