MongoDB find and remove - the fastest way

Question

I have a quick question, what is the fast way to grab and delete an object from a mongo collection. Here is the code, I have currently:

$cursor = $coll->find(         


        

Answer 1

I make a new answer to remark the fact:

As commented by @peterscodeproblems in the accepted answer. The native way to this in mongodb right now is to use the

findAndModify(query=, remove=True)

As pointed out by the documentation.

As it is native, and atomic, I expect this to be the faster way to do this.
