title: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
body: <p>I keep getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TypeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With my particular view on a django site I am playing around with. I have no idea why but I have a feeling it might be related to the way I am retrieving a specific object from a model.</p>
  
  <p>The error occurs here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def myview(request):
      if request.method == 'POST':
          tel = request.POST.get['tel_number']
          person = get_object_or_404(Employee,phone_number=tel) # HERE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have an Employee model with <code>phone_number</code> as a <code>CharField</code> as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Employee(models.Model):
      first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
      last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
      phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=10)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The request.POST data is sent from an android application. All I want to do is to retrieve an Employee object that has a particular phone_number value.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
