Not a bug. As the doc say it expects a record object but not a mapping 
although a mapping
would be more elegant if you want to create indexes through Python and not 
TTW. Please
file a collector issue for this feature request. There is already some code 
in TXNG that handles
both record-style and mapping-like arguments.
