In Python, how to get a record from string of ObjectID?

[Daniel W]

In Python, is there a way to "ObjectID-ify" a string?
E.g.:

>>> db.NY.find_one()
{u'_id': ObjectId('4e0c16a5466754281b000000'), u'gotto': 13436829}

>>> db.NY.find({'_id' : '4e0c16a5466754281b000000'}).count()
0

I know that this works:

>>> foo=db.NY.find_one()

>>> db.NY.find({'_id' : foo['_id']}).count()
1

But I'm wondering if there's a way to locate a record using Pymongo if
all you have is the string of its ObjectID.

Thanks

you can use objectid.

Hi,

I can't manage to make it work.

How did you do it?

[Jorge Puente Sarrín]

Very easy:

>>> from bson import ObjectId

>>> string = '4e0c16a5466754281b000000'

>>> ObjectId(string)

ObjectId('4e0c16a5466754281b000000')

thanks,

I do like this:

query = "{'_id': 'ObjectId('%s')'  }" % (str(  string_id  ))
