this is python 101 . You can't pass an unnamed arg after a named one.
Field definition is as follows
fieldname,
type='string',
length=None,
default=DEFAULT,
required=False,
requires=DEFAULT,
ondelete='CASCADE',
blablablabla
So, you'd need to pass Field('province', rname='state', type=citext) in
your case.
