Hey Juan, You're right to point out that our documentation could be better here. We're currently working on expanding the documentation on the Datastore emulator. Now, as to your main question:
*google-cloud-datastore* You can use the google-cloud-datastore <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/google-cloud-datastore> library to interact with the datastore emulator from both standard and flexible environment dev_appserver apps. *environment variables* Just be sure to set the environment variables properly by running $(gcloud beta emulators datastore env-init). Be sure to run the command exactly like that, with the $() included, since this will tell the shell to run the commands which are actually output by gcloud beta emulators datastore env-init. The commands, which you could also examine and then run yourself, one by one, are going to look like this: export DATASTORE_DATASET=my-project-id export DATASTORE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8715 export DATASTORE_EMULATOR_HOST_PATH=localhost:8715/datastore export DATASTORE_HOST=http://localhost:8715 export DATASTORE_PROJECT_ID=my-project-id *and you're good to go* When this is done, the python client library linked above will connect to the local emulator. See the documentation on the client library (the link was above) for the details of coding. *a small note about the datastore admin viewer in dev* Currently, the dev_appserver.py admin panel (localhost:8000 usually) "datastore" section does not connect properly to the emulator. This is documented in this Public Issue Tracker issue I've just filed <https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=13589>, and you can star that issue to receive updates. I hope this has been helpful to you, and feel free to ask any further questions you have. I'll be happy to assist.
