Question

I am currently testing GAE and I am having some trouble adapting to the datastore …

Given the example model:

  class Category(db.Model):
      name = db.StringProperty()
      date_time = db.DateProperty(auto_now_add=True)

  class Link(db.Model): 
      category = db.ReferenceProperty(Category, collection_name='links')
      name = db.StringProperty()
      date_time = db.DateProperty(auto_now_add=True)
      link = db.LinkProperty()
      type = db.StringProperty(choices=set(["in", "out"]))

and the not working code:

category = Category.get(key)
link = category.links.filter('type=', 'in').get()

it seems that I am unable to filter() on the referenced property…
Strange thing is that category.links is a Query object…
It is possible to iterate through category.links and verify the type property but I am certain that there is a better way…

Any help is welcome
Thanks in advance

Your code is fine, just put a space between type and =

link = category.links.filter('type =', 'in').get()
