Thanks Tim!
First off I should have named the subject of this post 'duplicate
entities'. Your response that it is definitely a problem with my code
was what I wanted to hear. I just needed to know this wasn't some
intended thing. I figured out what the problem was and I will post it
here for any novice - like myself - who might run into something
similar.
First my code that was posting entities to the datastore was the
default URL served in my app.yaml. I did this for testing purposes but
the effect was that when I refreshed my browser I posted the 30
entities as intended (1st set of 30). Then when I went to the
datastore viewer in the SDK console and hit refresh I posted 30 more
entities - because apparently it reloads/refreshes the app( 2nd set of
30 entities) and then when I clicked 'list entities' in the datastore
viewer I was posting 30 more entities so now I had 90 entities when I
really only wanted the original 30.
The solution is, of course to set a unique key_name.
for thing in someList:
newModel = abc(key_name=thing)
That way I only create the original 30 entities and any subsequent
reloads just overwrite the original 30 (which is what was intended)
