Question

Does anyone know how to delete all datastore in Google App Engine?

I got this from http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/remote_api.html.

Create the Interactive Console

First, you need to define an interactive appenginge console. So, create a file called appengine_console.py and enter this:

#!/usr/bin/python
import code
import getpass
import sys

# These are for my OSX installation. Change it to match your google_appengine paths. sys.path.append("/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine")
sys.path.append("/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/lib/yaml/lib")

from google.appengine.ext.remote_api import remote_api_stub
from google.appengine.ext import db

def auth_func():
  return raw_input('Username:'), getpass.getpass('Password:')

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
  print "Usage: %s app_id [host]" % (sys.argv[0],)
app_id = sys.argv[1]
if len(sys.argv) > 2:
  host = sys.argv[2]
else:
  host = '%s.appspot.com' % app_id

remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteDatastore(app_id, '/remote_api', auth_func, host)

code.interact('App Engine interactive console for %s' % (app_id,), None, locals())

Create the Mapper base class

Once that's in place, create this Mapper class. I just created a new file called utils.py and threw this:

class Mapper(object):
  # Subclasses should replace this with a model class (eg, model.Person).
  KIND = None

  # Subclasses can replace this with a list of (property, value) tuples to filter by.
  FILTERS = []

  def map(self, entity):
    """Updates a single entity.

    Implementers should return a tuple containing two iterables (to_update, to_delete).
    """
    return ([], [])

  def get_query(self):
    """Returns a query over the specified kind, with any appropriate filters applied."""
    q = self.KIND.all()
    for prop, value in self.FILTERS:
      q.filter("%s =" % prop, value)
    q.order("__key__")
    return q

  def run(self, batch_size=100):
    """Executes the map procedure over all matching entities."""
    q = self.get_query()
    entities = q.fetch(batch_size)
    while entities:
      to_put = []
      to_delete = []
      for entity in entities:
        map_updates, map_deletes = self.map(entity)
        to_put.extend(map_updates)
        to_delete.extend(map_deletes)
      if to_put:
        db.put(to_put)
      if to_delete:
        db.delete(to_delete)
      q = self.get_query()
      q.filter("__key__ >", entities[-1].key())
      entities = q.fetch(batch_size)

Mapper is supposed to be just an abstract class that allows you to iterate over every entity of a given kind, be it to extract their data, or to modify them and store the updated entities back to the datastore.

Run with it!

Now, start your appengine interactive console:

$python appengine_console.py 

That should start the interactive console. In it create a subclass of Model:

from utils import Mapper
# import your model class here 
class MyModelDeleter(Mapper):
    KIND = 

    def map(self, entity):
        return ([], [entity])

And, finally, run it (from you interactive console): mapper = MyModelDeleter() mapper.run()

That's it!
