Using Google Cloud Datastore with NDB API?

Question

There is a lot of info on using NDB API with Google App Engine Datastore but I can't find any info on how to use NDB with Google Cloud Datastore. The only module I found is googledatastore which is very primitive library.

How is App Engine Datastore different from the Cloud Datastore? Is NDB available for the Cloud Datastore?

Answer 1

You might want to try using gcloud.datastore (pip install gcloud).

Answer 2

NDB support outside of App Engine (using Google Cloud Datastore) is currently in development.

UPDATE: Check out the NDB development discussion on GitHub.
