Question

I’d like to do a query that returns all entities for which a particular property exists. I don’t care about the vale of the property, just that it exists. What is a good way to do this on python for app engine?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Filtering Or Sorting On a Property Requires That the Property Exists

If a property has a query filter condition or sort order, the query returns only those datastore entities that have a value (including null) for that property.

So just sort your results by the field you want to check for existence.
