python, mongoengine - do like/regex search

Question

I know I can do a glob-type search on mongodb:

db.person.find({ name: /*.bob.*/ })

or

db.person.find({ name: { $regex: \'*.b         


        

Answer 1

It looks like you can do it this way:

import re

regex = re.compile('.*bob.*')
Person.objects(name=regex)
