Beat AppEngine get limit (offline mode)

def get_entities(kind):
    c = None
    es = []
    while True:
        q = kind.all()
        if c: q.with_cursor(c)
        i = q.fetch(1000)
        es.extend(i)
        if not i: break
        c = q.cursor()
    return es

import sys
import code

gaedir = 'path/to/gae'

sys.path.append(gaedir)
sys.path.append(gaedir + '/lib/yaml/lib')
sys.path.append(gaedir + '/lib/webob')
sys.path.append(gaedir + '/lib/django')
sys.path.append(gaedir + '/lib/fancy_urllib')

extra = 'path/to/extra/libs'
sys.path.append(extra)

from google.appengine.ext.remote_api import remote_api_stub


def auth_func():
    return 'da_username', 'da_password'


def main():
    if len(sys.argv) < 2:
        print 'Usage: %s app_id [host]' % sys.argv[0]
        return

    app_id = sys.argv[1]

    if len(sys.argv) > 2: host = sys.argv[2]
    else: host = '%s.appspot.com' % app_id

    remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteDatastore(
        app_id,
        '/remote_api',
        auth_func,
        host
    )

    code.interact(
        'App Engine interactive console for %s' % (app_id,),
        None,
        locals()
    )


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

now you just do:

python the_script_name.py your_app_name

you know who to blame if it does not work for you.

semper fi.
