Docs need to explain clearly how users can ensure that the values they set onto entities get mapped as they expect: "text" values should be mapped to/from 'string_value' entries on the protobufs, and "bytes" values should be mapped to/from 'blob_value' entries.
We are to have to educate folks that the native 'str' is "bytes" on Python2, but "text" on Python3, and mandate that they be explicit if they want to control how such values get stored.
