@deepbluedave,

I took a quick look at it (by doing a pip install --target . google-cloud-datastore in an empty folder) and it appears to require some compiled modules (grpc, protobuf to name a couple) so it won't likely work.

You have other options but you might want to work a little more Python and you can explore other options such as writing an API Wrapper and hosting the google code on a separate host.
