There are other options too, such as pickling a dictionary into a blob
property, or saving its string representation into a StringProperty
and then use eval() to get it back "alive".
However, all these have issues and I guess that performance-wise they
are suboptimal...

I don't know if this will help but I've built a custom property for
dealing with basic dict items. It's based on StringListProperty, so
you still have some indexing for searching on keys, or "key:value"
pairs.
The code has not been tested much yet...
class DictListProperty(db.StringListProperty)

I'm considering sticking JSON in a field to deal with this problem,
but native

I agree - in a couple of cases I have created dual lists in a model,
rather than have the overhead of pickling. This has the bonus of
allowing both "key" and val
Dict is not indexable.

I defined and posted a PickleProperty definition that supports dicts
and all other pickleable datatypes.
