Q:

importing google.cloud.datastore not working

I am working in pycharm(in windows) environment. 
I am building a website to send query to datastore and display values. I also have data under kind="SpecialTest" that is automatically saved through Node.js. Now I wanted to Query the data from Python. 
I installed google-cloud-datastore from command line. 
But I can't establish connection to datastore.
My code:
from google.cloud import datastore
cli=datastore.Client(project="My_project_I")
query4= cli.query(kind="SpecialTest").order('Published_at')
print query4

My result:
Internal Server Error

The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation.

A:

The datastore client library is not supplied by GAE, you need to install/vendor it into your application (different method than for a standalone script).
Alternatively you can use the GAE-specific datastore library - it's actually recommended as it offers some advantages over the general purpose one. From Google App Engine Standard Environment Client Libraries:

Integrate Cloud Datastore with your App Engine Standard Environment
  applications by using the App Engine client libraries.
...
Python    Google Datastore NDB Client Library
Note: For App Engine applications that are written in Python, the Google Datastore DB Client Library is no longer recommended; use the
  Google Datastore NDB Client Library instead.
