Can I db.put models without db.getting them first?
- by Liron
I tried to do something like
ss = Screenshot(key=db.Key.from_path('myapp_screenshot', 123), name='flowers')
db.put([ss, ...])
It seems to work on my dev_appserver, but on live I get this traceback:

you tried to insert already exists
I happen to know just the ID of an existing Screenshot entity I want to update; that's why I was manually constructing its key. Am I doing it wrong?
