class DataBulk(db.Model):
    group_id = db.IntegerProperty()
    group_name = db.StringProperty()
    geo_pos = db.GeoPtProperty()
    group-leader = db.StringProperty() <-----------error 
    imported = db.IntegerProperty(default=0)

Anyone can tell me what’s wrong?

You must use valid Python names to define properties like that. Strictly speaking you can define the name that is stored in datastore, passing an argument “name” to the property:

class DataBulk(db.Model):
    group_id = db.IntegerProperty()
    group_leader = db.StringProperty(name='group-leader')
