Updated Datastore API

[George Moschovitis]

I just pushed a new version of the appengine package featuring an
updated Datastore API. This API is as close to the Python API as I can
get it (If anyone has a better idea, by all means, let me know). It
works like this:

var db = require("google/appengine/ext/db");

var Category = db.Model("Category", {
label: new db.StringProperty(),
category: new db.ReferenceProperty({referenceClass: Category})
});

var c = new Category({keyName: "news", label: News"});
c.put();
var key = ...
var c1 = Category.get(key);
var c2 = Category.getByKeyName("news");
var categories = Category.all().limit(3).fetch();

var CustomCategory = Category.extend("CustomCategory", {
...
}

I also updated the blog-example to work with the latest code, and
demonstrate some new code (a datastore paginator, db/forms, etc).

Great, I like the db API much more now.

I just played with the blog example and observed the following
problems:

posting new articles is fine, dleting them also works, but when I
click on "edit", I get the "new article" UI and submitting results in
an error. And when I click on "comment" nothing happens.

Nice, if you have an idea how to better emulate the Python API, let me know.

I 'll look into these.

Btw, I am working on more GAE API conversions (taskqueue, xmpp). I may even try to convert webapp.

If anyone has some free time, I would appreciate some help!
