      I am trying to import an existing database into mongo.

      The keys in the database don't contain the period character, but a lot of the lists in the documents themselves do.
      So I am getting a lot of errors like this:

      pymongo.errors.InvalidName: key 'web2.0' must not contain '.'

      Is it strictly necessary to prohibit dots in the keys?
      Is there a convenient workaround?
