Getting a file with urlfetch and saving it to the Google datastore

I have read Open a file from urlfetch in GAE and Google App Engine, How to make native file object? but still can't figure out how to save a .pdf file from an URL to the Google datastore or blobstore. Any hint or a pointer to a working example?

I'm using Python and my code is essentially the one from https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/?hl=it-IT&csw=1

from google.appengine.api import urlfetch

url = "http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1342/1342-pdf.pdf"
result = urlfetch.fetch(url)
if result.status_code == 200:
  doSomethingWithResult(result.content)

something like

First your model to store the PDF in

class PDFStore(ndb.Model):
  content = ndb.BlobProperty()

The create an instance of that model, put the data into it the save it. 

def doSomethingWithResult(result):
    PDF = result.content

    blobstore_data = PDFStore()

    blobstore_data.content = PDF

    blobstore_data.put()

It's exactly as in the first link you put up: Open a file from urlfetch in GAE
