How to store non utf-8 strings such as "\xac\xbb,v\xc9o\xa8\x18\x89\x95\xd8K\x03AZ\xac" in mongodb using pymongo?

If I do it using the usual way, i get a error message "strings in documents must be valid UTF-8: '\xac\xbb,v\xc9o\xa8\x18\x89\x95\xd8K\x03AZ\xac'"

You have two options:

  1. convert the string from its current encoding into UTF-8, as MongoDB only supports UTF-8 encoded strings in documents; you can use python's string encoding functions for this

  2. store the string as binary data in a binary type field, using the binary submodule in PyMongo.
