you can achieve this in polymodel by adding all common properties to
polymodel base class and specific property to the hierarchy.
i.e.
Class LivingThing(polymodel.PolyModel):
Kingdom = db.StringProperty()
Phylum = db.StringProperty()
Subphylum = db.StringProperty()
Class Mammal(LivingThing):
noofbreast = db.IntegerProperty()
class Monkey(Mammal):
canjump = db.BooleanProperty()
now you can create class monkey as,
Monkey(Kingdom="Animal",canjump=True)
and later query as LivingThing.filter("Kingdom =","Animal").fetch()
can return Monkey.
