The example provided in docs for Google App Engine remote_api did not quit work for me right away. Here are some modifications that will make it work.
First of all (thanks to the following post) use instead the following code (for OSX) for appengine_console.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
#http://allen.hutchison.org/2009/03/appengine-remoteapi-example-on-os-x.html
import code
import getpass
import os
import sys
DIR_PATH = "/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine"
EXTRA_PATHS = [
DIR_PATH,
os.path.join(DIR_PATH, 'lib', 'yaml', 'lib'),
]
sys.path = EXTRA_PATHS + sys.path
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())
Don't forget to comment out (or change from *) the helloworld.py in app.yaml
handlers:
#- url: /.*
# script: helloworld.py
- url: /remote_api
script: $PYTHON_LIB/google/appengine/ext/remote_api/handler.py
login: admin
Otherwise you will get the following error:

The guestbook example gave the following error:

Instead of using somewhat convoluted example provided by the docs
Just copy and paste the following sections separated by bold comments (make sure to paste them separately):
from google.appengine.ext import db
class Greeting(db.Model):
author = db.UserProperty()
content = db.StringProperty(multiline=True)
date = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
# Now make sure to hit enter couple of times to get out of ident mode
q = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Greeting ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10")
results = q.fetch(5)
# Enter the username and password
for r in results:
print r.content
