    Description

      See related SERVER-12209.

      The Python driver checks other document keys and disallows prefixed $, but apparently not for _id.

      Any such _id gets inserted on the primary (despite --objcheck) but will crash all secondaries immediately after.

      The Python driver should reject sending such bad {{_id}}s, and additionally converting the obvious {$oid: "..."} form to a proper ObjectId type instead.

      This code run against a replica set primary crashes all secondaries:

      from pymongo import MongoClient
       
      mc = MongoClient()
      mc.test.docs.insert({'_id': {'$oid': "52d0b971b3ba219fdeb4170e"}})
