Connect to dev_appserver Datastore using Python protocol buffers library

Question

I have a python script that add some entities to Cloud Datastore Local Development Server using Python protocol buffers library, and I would like to:

or

Make somehow dev_appserver use datastore file created by Cloud Datastore Local Development Server

I know there is an option to set the datastore file: --datastore-path DATASTORE_PATH Path to a file used to store datastore contents

But I couldn't make it work.

Any thoughts? Thanks

dev_appserver uses a sqlite file format and stores data in a special format that it understands. I doubt it would be compatible with the output of the Cloud Datastore dev server. Why do you need to switch from Cloud Datastore to the app engine datastore? That information may help you get a better answer. — Josh J

These Cloud Datastore entities are the result of a compute process made on compute engine. So the idea is to be able to view them using appengine. — fivunlm
