[Metakit] Python & Unicode

[Atamert Ölçgen]

Thanks for the reply. Type S gives "not a python string", type B gives 
"wrong type for ByteProp". Here is the output:

 >>> db = metakit.storage("test.db", 2)
 >>> v = db.getas("test[name:B,test:S]")
 >>> v.append(name='abc',test='def')
0
 >>> for row in v: print row.name, row.test
...
abc def
 >>> v.append(name=u'abc',test='def')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: wrong type for ByteProp
 >>> v.append(name='abc',test=u'def')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: not a Python string
