Need a way to count entities in GAE datastore that meet a certain condition? (over 1000 entities)
Results of datastore count() queries
  and offsets for all datastore queries
  are no longer capped at 1000.

Since Version 1.3.6
I'm building an app on GAE that needs to report on events occurring. An event has a type and I also need to report by event type.
For example, say there is an event A, B and C. They occur periodically at random. User logs in and creates a set of entities to which those events can be attributed. When the user comes back to check the status, I need to be able to tell how many events of A, B and/or C occurred during a specific time range, say a day or a month.
The 1000 limit is throwing a wrench into how I would normally do it. I don't need to retrieve all of the entities and present them to the user, but I do need to show the total count for a specific date range. Any suggestions?
I'm a bit of python/GAE noob...
