cloud datastore support ORM

[lucemia]

I am working on it!
currently I am working on rewrite a library based on entity and support ndb like interface

[dhermes]

Something this high-level should have a design document before too much code is written. Do you have a fork to point to?

Also, what is wrong with just using ndb?

[lucemia]

My current sketch is very simple, focus on creating a similar interface of ndb with limited method support. It is not another ndb, but a simplify orm support for gcloud-python
https://github.com/lucemia/gcloud-python/blob/datastore-orm-model/gcloud/datastore/model.py

The original ndb is strictly depended on appengine env; therefore, users need to include the whole appengine-sdk and install the mock service such as taskqueue, memcache provided by sdk in order to use the ndb service. (In fact, I tried to do so before, https://github.com/lucemia/google-cloud-datastore-orm)

ndb dependency
https://code.google.com/p/appengine-ndb-experiment/source/browse/ndb/google_imports.py

another thing is ndb based on very different logic and coding style with gcloud-python.

@lucemia thanks for this, but I think that something at the level of an ORM should live in a separate project, that can of course depend on gcloud-python.

@silvolu I will create a separate project for it. thx
