In query_resource_by_key(), there is an equal comparison that is made to
know if the object we are looking for is present. Due to type difference
this comparison doesn't always retrieve true, even when it should.
This is due to the fact that the value in r_data dict are of type
unicode, while the other can be of type int, float,... .
```
>>> a = u'1'
>>> type(a)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> b = 1
>>> type(b)
<type 'int'>
>>> a == b
False
>>> str(a) == str(b)
True
```
Hence the values, for comparison purposes, are casted into strings.
