Is this true? If so why?

account = cloudant.Account('my_username')
account.login('myusername','mypassword')

db = account.database('mydb')

doc = db.document('the-id-i-have-to-specify').put(params={'name':'Brian'})

Nope, post will make a POST request that assigns an ID, like this:

doc = db.document('the-id-i-have-to-specify').post(params={'name':'Brian'})
