Where is my local App Engine datastore?

Question

How can I find where my local development datastore is located? I am using the Python SDK and Linux.

Answer 1

I think a lot of the answers on this page are out of date. Under the current Python dev kit (1.8.6) on Windows 7 I eventually found the datastore at:

c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\appengine.[appname]\datastore.db

I couldn't find this info in anything dev_appserver.py printed out, either with normal startup options or with --help. On other OSes you might try searching for a file called datastore.db.
