[Metakit] problem getting dict into a view

Metakit and dictionaries are pretty easy, but here are the rules

1) the dictionary key has to exist in the view already
2) each 'row' must have a different dictionary.

One nice feature is that dictionary keys that are not in the view are ignored.

example:
import metakit
st = metakit.storage()
vw = st.getas("test[a:I,b:S]")
data = {"a":1,'b':"hello"}
vw.append(data)
data = {"a":2,'b':"there"}
metatkit.dump(vw)
# ------ end example
output

 a  b    
 -  -----
 1  hello
 2  there
 -  -----
 Total: 2 rows

If you have any more questions, don't feel shy, I'll eventually respond :)
