I need to search an ObjectId with python using pymongo but I always get this error. Any ideas how to search? 

import pymongo
from pymongo import MongoClient
from pymongo import ObjectId

gate = collection.find({'_id': ObjectId(modem["dis_imei"])})
print gate

    Traceback (most recent call last):

I use pymongo 2.4.1.

from bson.objectid import ObjectId
[i for i in dbm.neo_nodes.find({"_id": ObjectId(obj_id_to_find)})]

  • I update pymongo to 2.5 - all working. Can you see error message and your code? – Evgenii Apr 19 '13 at 08:14
  • @GerswinLee notice the "from bson.objectid"? You'll get an import error trying to import it from pymongo in version 2.5 You need python-bson package. I'm not sure if that's installed with pymongo or not. – hyprnick Apr 28 '13 at 05:55
  • For me to get it to work, I had to turn `obj_id_to_find` into a string i.e. `str(obj_id_to_find)` – luke Jan 01 '17 at 11:01
