You can write a property that stores a dictionary. Search this list and the Appengine-Cookbook. The method is converting the dictionary with the pickle module or the simple JSON module to text and store it in a TextProperty or BlobProperty. And when needed 'decode' it. 2009/7/26 Bob : > > Hi, >

Your query will probably fetch more then 25 Action objects. Fetching all those Keys is fast. Fetching all the complete objects is slow, you fetch a lot more then you need. If you iterate over the GQL query, no fetch, that requests full Action objects (SELECT * FROM ACTION...), the objects wil

Every "a.project" statement results in a db.get() operation. Try to batch get() the project_key cache misses, and then set_multi() these in memcache. Put/Copy the project.active and project.deleted booleans in the Action object. Then you can use them in the query and just fetch 25 Action objects

If it is about response time I think the normal-fetch(3) is faster. Only one call to the datastore, objects are fetched and converted to python-objects in parallel. If you also want to optimize the CPU-ms it depends on the size of the objects. Writing a test is the only way to know for your type
