I was wondering if it was possible to use the remote_api_stub from within a script that is running on the local dev_appserver.py.
I have successfully been able to connect to both the development/production datastore via the remote_api_stub from a basic script that is run from the command line, so I'm pretty confident the app.yaml is set up correctly.
If I wanted to find a list of User objects from my local development server, I can simply set up the stub to connect to the local server, and then fetch the ndb models as usual.
DEV_HOSTNAME = 'localhost'
DEV_PORT = '54256'
DEV_SERVER = '%s:%s' % (DEV_HOSTNAME, DEV_PORT)
DEV_PATH = '/_ah/remote_api'
DEV_SECURE = False
remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth(DEV_SERVER, DEV_PATH, secure=DEV_SECURE)
users = User.query()
# at this point users will contain data from the DEVELOPMENT server
If I wanted to find a list of User objects from the production server, I just have to change some of the paths
PROD_SERVER = 'myappid.appspot.com'
PROD_PATH = '/_ah/remote_api'
PROD_SECURE = True
remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth(PROD_SERVER, PROD_PATH, secure=PROD_SECURE)
users = User.query()
# at this point users will contain data from the PRODUCTION server
Both of these work as expected and will return me the correct data.
The problem starts when I try to set up the remote_api_sub inside any piece of code that is actually running on the dev_appserver.py instance.
For example if I try to configure the stub on any basic request handler, I run into some issues.
If I use remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth, using the same params as before, I get a NotSupportedOnThisPlatform error

So I continued looking and then found this very similar question and answer:here
However, it looks like they are using remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApi instead of remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApiForOAuth.
When I try to use
remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApi(app_id=None, path='/_ah/remote_api',
auth_func=lambda: ('myemail', 'mypass'),
servername='myappid.appspot.com')
I get

If I try to use (setting the app_id myself)
remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApi(app_id=myappid, path='/_ah/remote_api',
auth_func=lambda: ('myemail', 'mypass'),
servername='myappid.appspot.com')
I get the same HTTP Error 404 as before
As far as the email and password combo to use when not using OAuth, I have tried the username/password that has ownership over the app and that didn't seem to work.
I had to set up a service account with the secret key in order for the command line ConfigureRemoveApiForOAuth stuff to work. I was wondering about using that email remote-api-service@myappid.iam.gserviceaccount.com , but I wasn't sure what the password would be so I figured that probably isn't correct.
I have also tried setting up the remote_api_stub inside of appengine_config.py instead of in the individual handlers and all of the problems are the same.
I've also tried this with both with vm: true and without in the app.yaml, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
To sum it up: Is it possible to use the remote_api_stub to connect to a google app engine datastore from code within the google app itself? I can already access the datastores fine from OUTSIDE the application, but any code running inside seems to not work.
Thanks
edit: The account in question has 'allow less secure apps to log in or whatever setting that is in google set to ON'
