python - Using string to access datastore column

Question

Looked through the documentation and can't work this out.

Is it possible to access the attribute of an entity retrieved from the datastore with a string in Python on GAE?

Something like employee.name but employee.<>

Answer 1

You can do something like this, if I understand you correctly:

getattr(MyModel, attrib_name) 

which will retrieve the attribute attrib_name
