Question

I need to run a Python script to re-save some entities on remote datastore so that they’ll get missing property. Is enabling remote_api the only way to do so or there is something I can enable in remote admin console to allow me run Python scripts from the web interface?

Answer 1

For all my apps I enable the developer console by default:

- url: /devcon/.*
  script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/admin
  login: admin

For Python 2.7 it is:

- url: /devcon/.*
  script: google.appengine.ext.admin.application
  login: admin

This includes the interactive console which I find great for hacking one-off scripts that need to do something in the actual environment.
