python - mongoengine embeded document in a DynamicField -

i try embed document dynamic field. when try access later, it's not document object anymore, it's dict.

here example code i've made up:

#defining documents class embed(embeddeddocument):      field_1    = stringfield(db_field='f')   class doc(document):      myid = intfield(required=true, unique=true, primary_key=true)      embed_me = dynamicfield(db_field='e')      field_x    = stringfield(db_field='x') 

then create new document , save it:

connect('test')  # embedded part embed = embed(field_1='this test')  # document embedded document doc = doc(pk=2) doc.embed_me = embed doc.save() 

so far ok. in db:

 # > db.doc.find()  # { "_id" : 1, "e" : { "f" : "this test", "_cls" : "embed" } } 

but now, if request document , try access value embedded document exception:

doc, c = doc.objects.get_or_create(pk=1) 

just reference: access in main doc works

print doc.field_x > none 

also reference: dict looks okay, except names embedded doc not translated

print doc.__dict__ > {'_created': false, '_data': {'myid': 1, 'embed_me': {u'_cls': u'embed', u'f': u'this test'}, 'field_x': none}, '_changed_fields': [], '_initialised': true} 

and now, while try access embedded doc, exception rises

print doc.embed_me.field_1 >  file "embed_err.py", line 31, in <module> print doc.embed_me.field_1 attributeerror: 'dict' object has no attribute 'field_1 

what type it?

 type(doc.embed_me)  > <type 'dict'> 

it looks embedded document not translated in object. i'm not sure if bug or if misunderstand concept. advice.

in 0.8.3 have manually reconstruct it, bug - opened #449 , fixed in master. 0.8.4 due later week.
