I checked out the source; what's the trick for getting the dependencies into the tree?

"go get" is not supported in appengine [1], and if I manually check out individual projects, I end up with extra code that will not compile in the appengine environment.

"go get" is supported in App Engine, but only the download part, since the package will be built with your app (either through the dev_appserver, or when you upload it).

go get -d <package>

Thank you for the clarification, David.

I also had a problem getting the app to upload: "appcfg.py update" would hang during the build phase (may be Windows-specific): https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9...

Use your normal go install with a correct GOPATH set. App engine go will pick up on the GOPATH and use imports from there.

That worked, thanks!
