Python Error: Misusing `id` as a Query Field
TLDR Alberto was having trouble querying based on 'id' in their Python code. Kishore Nallan clarified that 'id' is a special field and cannot be queried by it just yet.

02:24 AMid is a special field which is actually ignored in the schema. You can filter on it, but cannot yet query on it (we've plans to allow this in future). You have to index id as another regular field if you wish to do this.
