You can view the source of get_or_insert and see that it only returns
the entity:
@classmethod
def get_or_insert(cls, key_name, **kwds):
def txn():
entity = cls.get_by_key_name(key_name, parent=kwds.get
('parent'))
if entity is None:
entity = cls(key_name=key_name, **kwds)
entity.put()
return entity
return run_in_transaction(txn)
Try adding this modified classmethod to your model:
@classmethod
def get_or_insert2(cls, key_name, **kwds):
def txn():
entity = cls.get_by_key_name(key_name, parent=kwds.get
('parent'))
if entity is None:
entity = cls(key_name=key_name, **kwds)
entity.put()
return (True,entity)
return (False,entity)
return run_in_transaction(txn)
Use it like this:
inserted,entity = MyModel.get_or_insert2('foobar',**attrs)
if inserted:
print "inserted"
else:
print "existing"
