Question

I noticed what appears to be a limit on simultaneous asynchronous calls of urlfetch in the Java implementation (as noted here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/urlfetch/overview.html)

but not in the python documentation:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/asynchronousrequests.html

So is it the case that the python version of async urlfetch also has an upper limit of 10 and it’s just not documented (or documented elsewhere)? Or is the limit something else (or non-existant)?

Answer 1

The limit for Python is just not documented in that page but in another one, which says (in the middle of the last paragraph of this section):

The app can have up to 10 simultaneous
asynchronous URL Fetch calls.

As you see, that’s the same limit as for Java.
