I would like to build an admin section into my App Engine app that will allow me to download and install python modules dynamically.

Any ideas on the most efficient way to accomplish this, without the ability to write to file system?

Are there any examples of this being done?

Does python27 support of setuptools make this easier?

Is this posible?

What kind of performance issues would this create?
