Hi Gerad, While it's possible to do this, as other posters point out, it involves reaching into the internals of the dev_appserver in ways that may break in future. You haven't specified why you need to do this, but it seems likely that writing an external script that does what you need and running it outside the dev_appserver is a better option. External scripts can even access your local or production datastore - see the remote_api_shell.py for an example.
