Flask-PyMongo collMod

Question

I\'m trying to update a TTL collection with the PyMongo. Trying to run this I get \'failed no such cmd: index\'

client.db.command({\'collMod\': url,
                     


        

Answer 1

Well I've just decided to switch my index around to instead set the time I want the document to expire at in the database instead of saying how long I want the document to live by using

db.test.ensure_index("expireOn", expireAfterSeconds=0)

Now I can set the field to a future time that I want the entry to expire instead of having to change the index. Seems strange that as of now there is no way to update the index programatically using python.
