Mongoengine: AttributeError: DictField object has no attribute 'get'

import mongoengine as mg

class Team(mg.Document):
    # ......
    meta = mg.DictField()

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'DictField' object has no attribute 'get'

Nevermind. tl;dr don't use probably-reserved words as column names, derp. Changing the field to team_meta did the job.

What are the chances that I would exactly create a meta field with DictField and end up seeing this issue 5 years later :)
