Datastore Property

[leone]

How can I know the property types of a model using model.properties?
Thanks

I'm curious. Why do you need to know?

I am using a model without knowledge about its properties and I need
to extract from model.

I'm having mental images of DataStore entities going to Yoga class to
attain self awareness.

...know yourself, said socrates.
Model object contains information about its structure? How can I
access to?

Hi leone,
Model.properties() returns a dict, the key is you property name and
value is the property type object.

PS.
I've made this self-reflection method on my model class (all it with
self.response.out.write as an argument from your handler):

class Base(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty()

def write_me(self, write):

write('<h1>Writing: %s<h1>' %(escape(str(self)),))
write('<h2>self.__dict__</h2>')
for key, value in self.__dict__.items():
write('<p><strong>key:</strong>
%20s<br/><strong>value:</strong> %20s</p>' % (key, escape(str(value)))
)
write('<p></p>')
write('<h2>self.properties()</h2>')
for key, value in self.properties().items():
write('<p><strong>key:</strong>
%20s<br/><strong>value:</strong> %20s</p>' % (key, escape(str(value)))
)

class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
...
obj.write_me(self.response.out.write)
...
