THANK YOU!!!!!! thats exactly what I was looking for... I did recall reading about some undocumented apis, but couldn't find them.
anyway, thanks so much! Arun, I couldn't use the dataviewer, because any query that contained that corrupt record would also cause an exception and dataviewer would not show the record. strange huh! It actually took me a while to even figure out what the Key of that record was at all. I had to use Key.from_path() and guess at the possible IDs (based on what was before, after, and around it). Probably pretty stupid, but I couldnt figure out a better way at the time. the google.appengine.api.datastore apis probably could have come in handy there. Basically I needed anything that wouldn't do a strict type check on the contents in the datastore. Otherwise, any query that containted the row I wanted to delete would just throw an exception...
