  Google App Engine Property is the superclass for data model definitions. Query uses objects and methods to prepare queries. Python SDK 1.2.2 REVISION 1.1 05.21.09 CONSTRUCTOR CONSTRUCTOR class Property(verbose_name=None, name=None, Datastore google.appengine.ext.db class Query(model_class) indexed=True, default=None, choices=None A scalable storage and query engine. required=False, validator=None) INSTANCE METHODS filter(property_operator, value) self PACKAGE FUNCTIONS CLASS ATTRIBUTES order(property) self get(key) Model instance data_type ancestor(model_instance|key) self You can also pass multiple keys and it will return multiple Model instances. INSTANCE METHODS get() model instance or None put(model_instance) Key object default_value() value fetch(limit, offset=0) list of model instances You can also pass multiple model instances and it will return multiple keys. validate(value) value or exception count(limit=None) integer delete(model_instance|key) empty(value) bool run_in_transaction(function, *args, **kwargs) TYPE AND PROPERTY CLASSES Key represents a unique key for a datastore entity. run_in_transaction_custom_retries(retries, function, Property Class Value Type Sort Order CONSTRUCTOR *args, **kwargs) StringProperty str Unicode (str is treated as ASCII) class Key(encoded=None) unicode Model is the superclass for data model definitions.

See RatingProperty db.Rating Unicode parent_key() Key Model.gql() for example usage. Key-only queries are supported using either to_xml() XML SELECT __key__.
