I think you mean kind.
Newkind = type("KindName", (db.model,), dict(p1=db.Property(), p2...))

it sounds like you want to specify the *kind* of an entity
dynamically, at runtime?
this isn't easy with db, but it is with the lower-level, undocumented
google.appengine.api.datastore module. see the docstrings for the top-
level classes and functions in that module:

Thanks!
so can i do soemthing like:
Newkind = type("KindName", (db.expando,))
obj1 = KindName()
?

I think this should work as well. I only tried db.Model though.

Actually, you still need to supply a empty dict object
anykind = type("KindName", (db.Expando,), dict())
obj1 = anykind()
obj1.put()
Here "anykind" is just a variable name, it is not necessary to match
KindName, but KindName is the name used for datastore.

thanks calvin, that's great information. I'm guessing from your
articles that GAE would probably *not* limit the number of
entities,which is great. also, Is there a Part 3 yet :)
cheers

Not to look like im just self promoting, but I do think i have a good
coverage of the lower level that is often useful in these situations:

hi ryan
is there any limit to the number of "kinds" you can dynamically
create? is there a way to create dynamic indexes for these kinds as
well?
thx
