How to list kinds in datastore?

Question

I just had to figure this out for my own application, so reposting the answer here.

Answer 1

Time has passed since this was asked and answered. Now there's a simpler way.

See http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/metadataqueries.html

q = Kind.all()
for kind in q.fetch(100):
  print kind.kind_name
