String field type
Stuart Rackham
And now the inevitable question:
In addition to the unicode field type is there a string one?
I've l read the docs but can't seem to find the answer.
My code is becoming peppered with u'...' and unicode(...) noise and I'm always
forgetting the conversion and getting validation exceptions. I know that MongoDB
stores Unicode but PyMongo seems to handle strings transparently.
Cheers, Stuart

I recently add the basestring type in authorized types. You can find
it in the devel branch of Mongokit.
https://github.com/namlook/mongokit/commit/0ebc115e850c23d34ce59104c50a9599379691b3
You can add it yourself in your code like this:
class MyDoc(Document):
authorized_types = Document.authorized_types+[basestring]
structure = {...}

The reason I initialy made Mongokit to accept only unicode strings was
to be sure that strings are correctly encoded and to prevent some
surprises at runtime. But I understand that it could be annoying some
time. Next version will fix that.

Thanks for such a prompt reply, I switched to the devel branch and it works like
a charm!

I know this thread is quite old. But I want to make something clear. Even if we store elements as str , does retrieving that element from db , return it as unicode?
Thanks,
