You can take django out now.

Sorry, I can't. :(
First of all, the next step is to support Django 1.1 when it's released. If I 
remove 
Django you can forget Django 1.1 until Google decides to provide the next 
update 
which can take a very very long time...

Finally, our Django version contains a lot of patches (it's a much more 
complete port 
than django-helper) and monkey-patching (as it's done by django-helper and 
early app-
engine-patch releases) is not an option, anymore, because it takes too much 
work to 
maintain everything and it's far too easy to make mistakes and introduce bugs. 
At the 
current level, monkey-patching would mean that I'd have to copy 1/5th of Django 
into 
app-engine-patch, so in the end, there would be a lot of unnecessary module 
loads.

Finally, I'm not convinced that using the integrated Django version in App 
Engine 
will provide any speedups. Unless Google pre-loads those modules (which they 
surely 
won't due to their RAM requirements) you have to load them manually, anyway. 
So, the 
only advantage of the integrated Django version is that you don't have to so 
many 
files, but that's a minor issue because Google will soon raise the limit to 
3000 
files and since Django is zipped there aren't that many required files outside 
of the 
zip file, anyway (e.g., you can delete most of Django's locales in the 
django_aep_export folder).

I am aware the importance of your project, in fact I'm going to keep using it 
in the
future. I guess here is my point: zipimport is a big cpu time consumer, can we
somehow work around and take advantage of the Django version provided by GAE so 
that
we can save ourselves from bearing the zipimport thing?

Unfortunately, that's not possible. You can, however, try an unzipped Django 
version. 
But when I tested it, the unzipped version was not faster than the zipped 
version 
(though, I don't know if it consumed less ressources).
