The new bulkloader can be used to load unicode data, but you need to set up your Loader subclass properly. You can use something like "lambda x: unicode(x, 'utf-8')" as your conversion function to make it work. e.g. class MyModel(db.Model): field1 = db.StringProperty() class MyLoader(Loader): def __init__(self): Loader.__init__(self, 'MyModel', [('field1', lambda x: unicode(x, 'utf-8'))])
