Mongodb bulk write error

Question

I'm executing bulk write

bulk = new_packets.initialize_ordered_bulk_op()

bulk.insert(packet)

output = bulk.execute()

and getting an error that I interpret to mean that packet is not a dict. However, I do know that it is a dict. What could be the problem?

Here is the error:

    BulkWriteError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

    BulkWriteError: batch op errors occurred

It can be many reasons...
the best is that you try...catch... the exception and check in the errors

from pymongo.errors import BulkWriteError
try:
    bulk.execute()
except BulkWriteError as bwe:
    print(bwe.details)
    #you can also take this component and do more analysis
    #werrors = bwe.details['writeErrors']
    raise
