dynamic query google app engine

Question

I was experimenting with Queries in Google App Engine using Python. Can't I do something like this?

region = '"Malaysia"'
result = Post.query(Post.page_market.IN([region])).order(Post.created_time)

But if I do this,

result = Post.query(Post.page_market.IN(["Malaysia"])).order(Post.created_time)

the query is working.

Please help me. Thanks!

I'm guessing you don't want the quotes around the region name itself:

region = 'Malaysia'
