I have a GAE/Python application that is an admin program that allows people all over the world to translate template files for a large GAE application into their local language (we cannot use auto translation because many idioms and the like are involved). The template files have been tokenized and text snippets in the various languages are stored in a GAE datastore (there are thousands of template files involved).

I therefore need to be able to write files to a folder. 

I have the following code:

```
with open("my_new_file.html", "wb") as fh:
    fh.write(output)

```

I have read that GAE blocks the writing of files. If that is true, is there some way to get around it?

If I cannot write the file direct, does anyone have a suggestion for how I accomplish the same thing (e.g. do something with a web-service that does some kind of round trip to download and then upload the file)?

I am a newbie to GAE/Python, so please be specific.

Thanks for any suggestions.
