I am using google app engine on ubuntu 11.04 and custom python2.5 install. The problem I have is, whenever I restart dev app server, old data got deleted. How Do I prevent that ? ( either by changing path of database file OR somehow telling ubuntu to not to delete file in tmp folder. ) but I could not able to do either. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

edit:
I am using kay framework.

python2.5 manage.py runserver --datastore_path=/home/gopal/temp.sqldb --use_sqlite
python2.5 manage.py runserver --datastore_path=/home/gopal/temp.sqldb --clear_datastore
python2.5 manage.py runserver --datastore_path=/home/gopal/temp.sqldb

Ok , I tried using direct dev app server instead of manage script from kay framework and it works. So I think problem was with kay framework. Relevant issue added to kay bug list. sorry for question.
