instead of using field label.

Comment:
The newforms docs explain how to customize error output; meanwhile, using
the field name as the key in the errors dictionary is correct behavior,
because it ensures consistency; using a verbose name or label is
problematic because these may well be translated strings, and so will
change from one page view to the next, wreaking havoc on code which wants
to predictably access specific field errors.
