“the google uploader doesn’t support relations of any kind” what do you mean?

You can use the google uploader to pass a field or a key_name and than build the relation during the upload process:

from dateutil import parser
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.tools import bulkloader

from common.appenginepatch.aecmd import setup_env
setup_env(manage_py_env=False)

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

import goals.models

def findUserKeyByKeyName(keyName):
# query = User.all()
# query.filter(‘title =’, title)
# theUser = query.get()
theUser = User.get_by_key_name(keyName)
return theUser.key()

class GoalLoader(bulkloader.Loader):
def __init__(self):
bulkloader.Loader.__init__(self, ‘goals_goal’,
[('title', str),
('description', str),
('date', lambda x: parser.parse(x).date()),
('author', findUserKeyByKeyName)
])

loaders = [GoalLoader]

# csv file:
#g3,description,03-03-2006,userx
#g4,dosm,1950-02-02,usery

Hope it helps,

PS: This doesn’t mean that the loader is the best way… I will also think a bit about generating automatically more complete test data based on combinations of interesting values for the differents entities…

Lately I’ve resorted to created my own django views for handling imports, mostly because I need to import complex relational data, and as far as I can tell the google uploader doesn’t support relations of any kind.

You’re right, in my original instructions I forgot to mention that you need to prepend ‘myapp’ to both the kind AND the loader class in myloader.py

Now that 1.0 is out and stable, I’ve updated my example to work without any modifications. You can follow the new link above, or grab it straight from here.

Let me know if you have any more issues with it!

I see you note about the repository/1.0 version. I have tried to specify ‘myapp_Person’ on the -kind param of the bulkload_client.py command but I get the following error:
no Loader defined for kind myapp_Person.

any ideas whats going on?

Also, there’s a quick way to play albums. Just click Stream on the home screen, then Albums on the menu. You’ll see a list of albums available on your PC. Just highlight the album you want to play and click Listen on the menu.

If you choose an album, you will see a track list. If you click Play All on the menu, the app will play the whole album.

Thanks much and happy listening!
