operations – Operation class definitions

Operation class definitions.

class pymongo.operations.DeleteMany(filter, collation=None)

Create a DeleteMany instance.

For use with bulk_write().

Parameters:
  • filter: A query that matches the documents to delete.
  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.

Changed in version 3.5: Added the collation option.

class pymongo.operations.DeleteOne(filter, collation=None)

Create a DeleteOne instance.

For use with bulk_write().

Parameters:
  • filter: A query that matches the document to delete.
  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.

Changed in version 3.5: Added the collation option.

class pymongo.operations.IndexModel(keys, **kwargs)

Create an Index instance.

For use with create_indexes().

Takes either a single key or a list of (key, direction) pairs. The key(s) must be an instance of basestring (str in python 3), and the direction(s) must be one of (ASCENDING, DESCENDING, GEO2D, GEOHAYSTACK, GEOSPHERE, HASHED, TEXT).

Valid options include, but are not limited to:

  • name: custom name to use for this index - if none is given, a name will be generated.
  • unique: if True creates a uniqueness constraint on the index.
  • background: if True this index should be created in the background.
  • sparse: if True, omit from the index any documents that lack the indexed field.
  • bucketSize: for use with geoHaystack indexes. Number of documents to group together within a certain proximity to a given longitude and latitude.
  • min: minimum value for keys in a GEO2D index.
  • max: maximum value for keys in a GEO2D index.
  • expireAfterSeconds: <int> Used to create an expiring (TTL) collection. MongoDB will automatically delete documents from this collection after <int> seconds. The indexed field must be a UTC datetime or the data will not expire.
  • partialFilterExpression: A document that specifies a filter for a partial index.
  • collation: An instance of Collation that specifies the collation to use in MongoDB >= 3.4.

See the MongoDB documentation for a full list of supported options by server version.

Note

partialFilterExpression requires server version >= 3.2

Parameters:
  • keys: a single key or a list of (key, direction) pairs specifying the index to create
  • **kwargs (optional): any additional index creation options (see the above list) should be passed as keyword arguments

Changed in version 3.2: Added partialFilterExpression to support partial indexes.

document

An index document suitable for passing to the createIndexes command.

class pymongo.operations.InsertOne(document)

Create an InsertOne instance.

  • document: The document to insert. If the document is missing an _id field one will be added.
class pymongo.operations.ReplaceOne(filter, replacement, upsert=False, collation=None)

Create a ReplaceOne instance.

For use with bulk_write().

Parameters:
  • filter: A query that matches the document to replace.
  • replacement: The new document.
  • upsert (optional): If True, perform an insert if no documents match the filter.
  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.

Changed in version 3.5: Added the collation option.

class pymongo.operations.UpdateMany(filter, update, upsert=False, collation=None, array_filters=None)

Create an UpdateMany instance.

For use with bulk_write().

Parameters:
  • filter: A query that matches the documents to update.
  • update: The modifications to apply.
  • upsert (optional): If True, perform an insert if no documents match the filter.
  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.

Changed in version 3.6: Added the array_filters option.

Changed in version 3.5: Added the collation option.

class pymongo.operations.UpdateOne(filter, update, upsert=False, collation=None, array_filters=None)

Represents an update_one operation.

For use with bulk_write().

Parameters:
  • filter: A query that matches the document to update.
  • update: The modifications to apply.
  • upsert (optional): If True, perform an insert if no documents match the filter.
  • collation (optional): An instance of Collation. This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.
