[repost due to confusing typo]

Thanks for the reminder. The names starting with _ corresponding to property 
options are actually intended to be a part of the API. I'll make sure this is 
documented somewhere.

The reason these start with _ is that for StructuredProperty, property names of 
the model class would otherwise clash with the introspection API, e.g.

class A(Model):
  repeated = BooleanProperty()
class B(Model):
   a = StructuredProperty(A)

Now B.a.repeated refers to A's repeated property, while B.a._repeated is the 
value of B.a's repeated option.

Apologies for not having this clear in the docs.

Some more examples:

class Employee(Model):
 name = StringProperty()
 address = StringProperty(repeated=True)

>>> print Employee.name._repeated
False
>>> print Emplotee.address._repeated
True
>>>

The full collection of properties of a model is given as a class variable 
_properties; in the above example,

>>> print Employee._properties
{'name': StringProperty(), 'address': StringProperty(repeated=True)}
>>>

On Expando entities, the list of properties is an instance variable; e.g.

class X(Expando): pass

>>> x = X(foo=42, bar='hello')
>>> print x._properties
{'foo': GenericProperty(), 'bar': GenericProperty()}
>>>

(Fixing the summary and metadata to reflect that this is just a documentation 
task.)
