Examples
Here’s a basic example (for more see the examples/ directory):
>>> from pymongo.connection import Connection
>>> connection = Connection("localhost", 27017)
>>> db = connection.test
>>> db.name()
u'test'
>>> db.my_collection
Collection(Database(Connection('localhost', 27017), u'test'),
u'my_collection')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 10})
ObjectId('\x03\x1c\x06\x8d|\x9d}O\x8b\xaf!\xa0')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 8})
ObjectId('\x18\x1f\xa4lOV&\x0bH\xf9%A')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 11})
ObjectId('R\xa3\x85p\xc3m=\xe5\x0e*\x1d\xa7')
>>> db.my_collection.find_one()
SON([(u'x', 10), (u'_id',
ObjectId('\x03\x1c\x06\x8d|\x9d}O\x8b\xaf!\xa0'))])
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find():
... print item["x"]
...
10
8
11
>>> from pymongo.database import ASCENDING
>>> db.my_collection.create_index("x", ASCENDING)
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find().sort("x", ASCENDING):
... print item["x"]
...
8
10
11
>>> [item["x"] for item in db.my_collection.find().limit(2).skip(1)]
[8, 11]
