Can't create list, 400 BadRequest

[jpic]

After following the documentation, I made it to this point:

contact_list = mailjet_api.lists.create(
    label='test',
    name='Test list',
    method='POST'
)

But instead of:

{
    'status': 'OK',
    'contact_id': 000000000
}

This is what it looks like:

In [1]: import mailjet

In [2]: mailjet_api = mailjet.Api()

In [3]: account_info = mailjet_api.user.infos()

In [4]: account_info
Out[4]: 
{u'infos': {u'address_city': u'Paris',
  u'address_country': u'FR',
  u'address_postal_code': u'75999',
  u'address_street': u'7 rue oeuoeuaoeu',
  u'company_name': u'',
  u'contact_phone': u'0123456789',
  u'currency': u'EUR',
  u'email': u'aoeuoeuoeu@gmail.com',
  u'firstname': u'James',

  u'tracking_clicks': u'1',
  u'tracking_openers': u'1',
  u'username': u'aoeuaoeuoaeu@gmail.com'},
 u'status': u'OK'}

In [5]: contact_list = mailjet_api.lists.create(
    label='test5',
    name='Test list 5',
    method='POST'
)

At first I thought it was a problem with capitalisation, but I tried with Create and it doesn't work either (note: I added some print statements to make it easier to debug):

In [8]: contact_list = mailjet_api.lists.Create(
    label='test5',
    name='Test list 5',

The problem is most likely non-alphanumeric characters. I have updated the readme to reflect this.

The example name is actually not allowed since there is a space in the name.

Ooops, my bad, thanks for your fast support !
