google app engine - Delete ndb entity using the key.id() -

i have key id of entity want delete, when trying delete using get_by_id, not deleting entity (it's not doing anything).

the numerical id (i assume number, not string) stored in 'key' data:

d = car_database.car() ident = self.request.get('key') d.get_by_id(ident).delete()

the id in instance is: 5659313586569216

thanks help

this incorrect. please @ documentation on deleting entities - https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/ndb/entities#deleting_entities - it's pretty clear should doing.

in case should

ident = self.request.get('key') d = car_database.car.get_by_id(ident) if d:     d.key.delete()

note get_by_id in fact classmethod don't need instantiate in instance of car use it.

and delete method of key, not of model.
