I hacked out an updated AdSense snippet from the latest code available from Google:

urlopen can be made a little safer by wrapping it in a timeout!

This is a straightforward function that returns HTML for direct insertion into your code. Just made sure it’s somewhere in you AppEngine app so that your page logic can see it.

In its crudest form, you could just do

self.response.out.write(google_ad(…))

from within your RequestHandler. But if you’re using templates or something, I suppose there are far more elegant ways.

The colours are handled slightly strangely in the original ad sense code, but I think if you just add the following parameters into the list at the top of the function (with #RRGGBB values), it should work:

‘color_border’
‘color_bg’
‘color_link’
‘color_text’
‘color_url’

(Haven’t tried it though)

I’d appreciate your help implementing this script on my mobile website. its running on appengine using the webapp framework.

i’m a complete python beginner so i’m unsure how to implement your code on a non django site.

i’d also be interested to know if its possible to sort the custom colour functionality?
i’d really like my ads to display inline with the design of my site.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance
