how about batch update using db.put()?
following is extracted from
http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2009/06/10-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about.html
For example, take a look at this common pattern:
for entity in MyModel.all().filter("color =",
old_favorite).fetch(100):
entity.color = new_favorite
entity.put()
Doing the update this way requires one datastore round trip for the
query, plus one additional round trip for each updated entity - for a
total of up to 101 round trips! In comparison, take a look at this
example:
updated = []
for entity in MyModel.all().filter("color =",
old_favorite).fetch(100):
entity.color = new_favorite
updated.append(entity)
db.put(updated)
By adding two lines, we've reduced the number of round trips required
from 101 to just 2!
