google-logo1-thumb.jpgAs pretty obvious from the post title, Google has released version 1.2.2 of the App Engine SDK for Python platform.  You can download this latest release directly from the download page. The download is available for Windows, Mac and Linux platform. A few highlights as to what this release contains are as follows:

  • Urlfetch From now supports user configurable deadlines.
  • Datastore indexes on single properties can now be disabled by setting indexed=False on the property constructor.
  • Datastore now supports Key-only queries, using either SELECT __key__ or db.Query(Model, keys_only=True)
  • Bulk Loader improvements: New appcfg download_data command. Better backoff support and debugging output for long requests.

As I stated before, that these are just a few highlights among many features. To get hold of all the available features please see its Release Notes.
