I have a statement like: jsonify_ok(data=mytag.reload().as_dict())
What role does reload() play? what's the normal situation for us to use reload()?
What is "reload()" for in MongoEngine

Document.reload() will check the database and update your data (I think in this case mytag but I can't see what this is) with any attributes that have been modified.
This could be useful if the data could or has changed before calling jsonify_ok.
Breaking down your data=mytag.reload() this says: "For document mytag, go to the database and fetch the latest version of this document, assigning this to variable data"
