How can I use this library with GAE standard Python3?

@wsh : Any response to this?

Python 2.7 End Of Life is January 2020

So we have less than a year to transition all our apps to another ORM, or this library has less than a year to transition to python3.

Both these options have massive lead-times on making sure everything is stable and working, it's incumbent on the Google Cloud Platform team to inform users on which path to take.

Work is in progress to update the ndb library to be compatible with Python 3 at https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/tree/master/ndb. That client is currently in development, but not yet ready for production use cases.

@tswast: Amazing! Thanks for sharing, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
I see issues tagged with api:ndb, is there anywhere we can track the progress of this. When should we start migrating our code?

I was a bit worried because according to Understanding differences between Python 2 and Python 3 on the App Engine standard environment:

The ndb ORM library is not available for Python 3. You can access Cloud Datastore through the Cloud Datastore API.

☝️ is more of 🖕when it comes to an upgrade path for ndb users on python2.

Glad to hear it's happening.

Those are the right issues to watch. Looks like https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/issues/6251 is especially relevant.

The ndb-for-python-3 project has it's own repo now: https://github.com/googleapis/python-ndb
