J'y pense :-)
Mais le code n'a rien de spectaculaire et n'est pas super clean.
- 90% du code est côté client (script.js)
- 10% du code est côté serveur (python)

the code needs love before (rasterman expression ;) ) ( needs cleaning)
- 90% of code is client part jscript
- 10% is server side on AppEngine and BigTable.
