I'm unable to workout how you can get objects from the Google App Engine Datastore using get_by_id. Here is the model
from google.appengine.ext import db
class Address(db.Model):
description = db.StringProperty(multiline=True)
latitude = db.FloatProperty()
longitdue = db.FloatProperty()
date = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
I can create them, put them, and retrieve them with gql.
address = Address()
address.description = self.request.get('name')
address.latitude = float(self.request.get('latitude'))
address.longitude = float(self.request.get('longitude'))
address.put()
A saved address has values for
>> address.key()
aglndWVzdGJvb2tyDQsSB0FkZHJlc3MYDQw
>> address.key().id()
14
I can find them using the key
from google.appengine.ext import db
address = db.get('aglndWVzdGJvb2tyDQsSB0FkZHJlc3MYDQw')
But can't find them by id
>> from google.appengine.ext import db
>> address = db.Model.get_by_id(14)
The address is None, when I try
>> Address.get_by_id(14)
AttributeError: type object 'Address' has no attribute 'get_by_id'
How can I find by id?
EDIT: It turns out I'm an idiot and was trying find an Address Model in a function called Address. Thanks for your answers, I've marked Brandon as the correct answer as he got in first and demonstrated it should all work.
I just tried it on shell.appspot.com
and it seems to work fine:

>>> class Address(db.Model):
description = db.StringProperty(multiline=True)
latitude = db.FloatProperty()
longitdue = db.FloatProperty()
date = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
>>> addy = Address()
>>> addyput = addy.put()
>>> addyput.id()
136522L
>>> Address.get_by_id(136522)
<__main__.Address object at 0xa6b33ae3bf436250>
