Full text search in Pymongo

Question

The upcoming MongoDB 2.4 supports full-text search.

We do this in the mongo shell with a command, such as

db.players.runCommand(\"text\", {
    \"search\         


        

Answer 1

Figured it out: pymongo uses keyword arguments for the additional command arguments:

db.command("text", "players", 
    search="alice", 
    project={"name": 1, "_id": 0}, 
    limit=10)

The reason for the odd error message "no such cmd: project" is that Python's dictionaries are unordered, and the project key happened to be first when passed to mongo.
