I tested the filter you provided:
query.filter('owner = ', PetOwner.all().filter('name =', 'johndoe'))
However it didn't work.
I visited the doc you referenced, but the page does not mention
anything about the style of query filters or any information on
construction of queries with ReferenceProperty that I could find.
Does the query filter you wrote work on your side?
I broke our your query:
PetOwner.all().filter('name =', 'johndoe')
Which worked fine, however it was in placing it inside the
query.filter that I get an error.
Do you not get an error structured like this?
