Special characters in google app-engine application queue task names

Question

Are there dashes (-) or any other special characters in the task names in the task queues?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use a dash. You can also have letters (anyway) or numbers. The name must be between 1 and 500 characters.

That's all if you look at the source code , which indicates that the task names must match this regular expression:

MAX_TASK_NAME_LENGTH = 500 r'^[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,%s}$' % MAX_TASK_NAME_LENGTH
