The appcfg client cannot be used anymore because it use a username/password authentication, which has been deprecated in favor of oauth2 (and not supported by the client itself). About 1 year ago I had a very very long ticket with google support (issue number #08922843) where we analyzed all this situation, here a couple of comments:
We ended up writing a very simple remote API handler (both server and client) in order to reproduce the same need as you. You need to deploy online a version with remote_api enabled and the write a simple client which will download the data (for all the kinds you need) from online and load it inside the local dev-server In my case the client was written in Java, but because the remote_api exists in python I'm very confident that you can build a client of your own. The main thing to take care is (this example is for java language, i think a python counterpart exists as well) if ( ... remote api connected to development server ...) { options.useDevelopmentServerCredential(); } else { options.useApplicationDefaultCredential(); } When you need to connect with the online environment, the application-default is used which need to be configured using GCloud SDK https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/auth/application-default/login Il giorno lunedì 27 febbraio 2017 21:56:47 UTC+1, Delyan Spasov ha scritto: > > I've wasted lot of time trying to download the datatstore to my local > machine.
