Guido released a new DataStore API for GAE I read the docs and I think this syntax looks like DAL syntax
*Look the NewDataStoreAPI syntax:* msg = yield Greeting.get_or_insert_async('hello', message='Hello world') Let's break this up further into its constituents: f = Greeting.get_or_insert_async('hello', message='Hello world') msg = yield f --- BTW, The old API will remain intact and working.
