check_key

[jacques . ales]

hello

I'm using the python wrapper for memcached in it's version 
__author__    = "Evan Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
__version__ = "1.36"
__copyright__ = "Copyright (C) 2003 Danga Interactive"
__license__   = "Python"

I can't figure out if this is the latest since the verion available in the 
svn repository is 
http://code.sixapart.com/svn/memcached/trunk/api/python/memcache.py
__author__    = "Evan Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
__version__   = "1.2"
__copyright__ = "Copyright (C) 2003 Danga Interactive"
__license__   = "Python"


anyway, my concern is that version 1.36 checks key validity with the 
followinf function, that excludes spaces char (ascii32)
as being 'control characters'. 

I was wondering is this is correct. 
and also wondering why other chars as DEL(ascii127) are not excluded 

thanks for your clues
