google appengine datastore client

Question

Is there a tool/client to view inside and make queries for google appengine datastore?

Answer 1

Starting with release 1.1.9 of the App Engine SDK, however, there's a new way to interact with the datastore, in the form of the remote_api module. This module allows remote access to the App Engine datastore, using the same APIs you know and love from writing App Engine Apps.

And some wrapper around it:

Today, I will share with you a simple script – remote.py – which can do all the necessary staging in order for us to talk with our App Engine back-end at Google. remote.py provides a single function attach(host), which will configure the API to communicate with the specified host. This will allow us to easily write scripts that interact with the live serving application, or if we need to, a newly-deployed version.

You can login at AppSpot and go to the "Datastore Viewer". You can run custom GQL queries and view/edit entities in the datastore.
