Why is what u where? Do you mean the u's preceding the key values? That
indicates the values are unicode strings, not bytestrings. It's normal, and
I don't see how the values being unicode would prevent your example line of
code from working.
Though, checking whether the keys exist probably isn't what you want to do,
as the key (pwdc) in this case exists in the data dictionary but has an
empty value, that that's what you want to be checking for: the empty value,
not a missing key.
