I have seen from several sources that you can do this import:
from google.appengine.api.capabilities import CapabilitySet and then tell when the datastore is read-only like so: if not CapabilitySet('datastore_v3', capabilities=['write']).is_enabled(): ... handle read-only ... However this is the second time that maintenance has occured, and this method didn't work. Is this now depreciated? Or did it ever work to begin with? I know this page shows a slightly different method, http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/howto/maintenance.html But it requires that you try to write before discovering you'r'e in read-only mode. I don't want to have to put in an un-needed write just to find out if the Datastore is in Read-Only mode. Can anyone help with this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
