Python - Upload file to Google Team Drive

I'm trying to upload a file to a specific Team Drive via the Python API, but am struggling with where to specify the teamDriveId. I'm working with Drive v3.

Here is the function I am working with: 

def upload_file(self):
    # self.service: Google Drive Hook - works well for other functions
    # self.drive_id: Id of Team Drive I am trying to upload to

    metadata = {'name': 'sample.txt'}
    media = MediaFileUpload('sample.txt', mimetype = 'text/plain')
    upload = self.service.files().create(body=metadata, 
                                         supportsTeamDrives=True,
                                         media_body=media,
                                         fields='id).execute()

I have attempted to put this in both the create() function and the metadata JSON as {'parents': self.drive_id} but this either return an Unexpected keyword argument: teamDriveId or the file will just upload to my personal drive.

I do not have any folders inside the Team Drive I am attempting to work with. I looks like I could set {parents': <teamDrive_folderId>} but I am hoping to find a solution where I don't have to specify a folder and can just put files in the root of the Team Drive.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Setting parents to the Team Drive's ID works for me and inserts the file into the root of the Team Drive. Minimal example:

# media is a `MediaFileUpload` instance
service.files().create(
    supportsTeamDrives=True,
    media_body=media,
    body={
        'parents': ['0AILoX...'],  # ID of the Team Drive
        'name': 'foo.txt'
    }
).execute()

Are you sure that you got the right ID?
