Question

Below is python code where I am trying to get reservations information from the Reservations Model.

    i=0
    for c in courts:
        court = names[i]
        i=i+1
        c_key=c.key()
        logging.info("c_key: %s " % c_key)
        weekday_key= db.Key.from_path('Courts', 'c_key', 'Days', weekday)
        logging.info("weekday_key: %s " % weekday_key)
        logging.info("weekday: %s " % weekday)
        logging.info("court: %s " % court)
        reservation = db.Query(Reservations)
        nlimit=2*len(times)
        reservations = reservation.fetch(limit=nlimit)
        logging.info("reservations: %s " % len(reservations))

There are only two court entities in my Courts database, court1 and court2.
There also only 14 weekday entities in my Days database, 7 for court1 and 7 for court2, named Sunday, … , Saturday. In the current example I am trying to get the key for the 2 Monday Days, one for court1 and one for court2.
I don’t understand why according to the log below, I am getting the same weekday_key for the two different courts which have different keys c_key themselves.

In the log below, whether I put into the db.Key.from_path( command ‘c_key’ or ‘court’ I get exactly the same result, which shows that the values of the 2 weekday_keys are identical, not different as I expected.

My Models are as follows.

class Courts(db.Model):    #parent is Locations, courtname is key_name
    location = db.ReferenceProperty(Locations)
    timezone = db.StringProperty()

class Days (db.Model):    #parent is Courts, name is key_name, day of week
    court = db.ReferenceProperty(Courts)
    startTime = db.ListProperty(int)
    endTime = db.ListProperty(int)

class Reservations(db.Model):    #parent is Days, hour, minute HH:MM is key_name
    weekday = db.ReferenceProperty(Days)
    day = db.IntegerProperty()
    nowweekday = db.IntegerProperty()
    name = db.StringProperty()
    hour = db.IntegerProperty()
    minute = db.IntegerProperty()

Answer 1

You’re calculating the keys using the string 'c_key' each time, not the value of the variable c_key.

However even if you fix this it still won’t work, since you want the ID of the court, not the full key path.
