Question

I’d like to read outside the current namespace with something like the following:

some_entity = MyModel.get_by_id(some_id_name, namespace='somenamespace')

but get_by_id doesn’t take namespace as a parameter. I get:

TypeError: Unknown configuration option ('namespace')

I’ve gotten things to work with:

some_entity = ndb.Key(MyModel, some_id_name, namespace='somenamespace').get()

So now I’m just complaining, but I figured others could benefit from this. 🙂 Also, since Guido monitors this, is there a reason for not allowing the namespace option in get_by_id?

EDIT: This is now possible in App Engine 1.7.0.
