As you can see, we can add new properties simply by assining values to our _ParseObject_'s attributes. Supported data types are any type that can be serialized by JSON, the and datetime.datetime object. (Binary data and references to other _ParseObject_'s is also supported, as we'll see in a minute.)

Notice how queries are built by chaining filter functions. The available filter functions are:

**Greater Than* gt(_parameter_name_, _value_)

That's it! This is a first try at a Python library for Parse, and is probably not bug-free. If you run into any bugs, please get in touch -- parsepy@paulkastner.com. Thanks!
