looks like yesterday's 1.9.19 release raised the limit on string properties in the datastore from 500 to 1500 chars. awesome!
from google/appengine/api/datastore_types.py: _MAX_STRING_LENGTH = 1500 tested in https://shell-27.appspot.com/ : >>> from google.appengine.ext import db >>> class Foo(db.Expando): pass >>> key = Foo(long='x'*1490).put() >>> foo = Foo.get(key) >>> len(foo.long) 1490 app engine team, might be worth adding this to the release notes and docs? https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/SdkReleaseNotes https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/ndb/properties#types -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
