AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute for 'delete_entry'

When I try and delete an entity with the following code:

entities = dataset.query().kind('request').fetch()
for entity in entities:
    print entity
    entity.delete()

I get the following error:

File "usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gcloud/datastore/entity.py", line 206, in delete
self.dataset().connection.delete_entity(
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'delete_entity'

I found the same issue was identified and closed back in April #86

I may have an out of date version of the repo because when I manually compare my version of entity.py and query.py against the master, my version looks more like the version prior to resolving issue 86.

gcloud/datastore/query.py

- return [Entity.from_protobuf(entity) for entity in entity_pbs]  # WHAT MY VERSION HAS
+ return [Entity.from_protobuf(entity, dataset=self.dataset())
+             for entity in entity_pbs]

However, when I run sudo pip install --upgrade gcloud the output says that the requirement is already up-to-date.

The version on PyPI is really old: we need to make a new release. In the meanwhile, you can clone this repository and have pip install it as a "development package":

$ git clone git:github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-python.git
$ cd gcloud-python/
$ /path/to/virtualenv/bin/pip install -e .
