Hello,
I wonder what you can use as a key_name? I do a lot of queries on non-ascii unicode characters, I wonder if I can use these as key names to speed up the queries.
Thanks!

A:
Per the documentation, key_name is a unicode string, though plain str values get converted as ASCII -- so you'll want to make sure you're actually providing a true unicode string (I strongly suggest reading the entire Python Unicode HOWTO).

I can use non latin characters, but I have problems using get_by_key_name() to get long keys (several characters)

@user: Not sure why that would be. Key length limits are something like 500 bytes, and even worst-case UTF-8 encoded strings could fit dozens of characters in there. Do you have an extremely long path, perchance?

No long path.I think it is an encoding problem.I don't know where though, I made sure to use unicode strings.It seems I can create keys, but I can get them only if they are 1 character long.
