From this stackoverflow answer, I gather I can fetch a record from my db without even knowing its model, I just require the key. If this works, how do I then access the model metadata so that I can find out its kind?
Update – from the answer provided
record_kind = record.kind()
#talk about being intuitive..... and thick
The kind is specified in the key, see https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/keyclass#Introduction
