So a little background, I've worked with MongoDB before in node.js with mongoose.js. And now I decided to try out to work with python and pymongo. But when I try to insert a document into my collection I just get an error off:
pymongo.errors.DuplicateKeyError: E11000 duplicate key error index: database.emails.$email_1 dup key: { : "[email protected]" }
I have been looking around on the internet for a solution both in python but also in other languages. It might very well be that sense iv only used mongoose.js to talk to mongo before and that I might not fully grasp the basics off MongoDB.
From model.py
from pymongo import MongoClient
class Model(object):
client = MongoClient()
db = client["database"]
collection_name = ""
def __init__(self):
self.collection = self.db[self.collection_name]
def save(self, data):
self.collection.insert_one(data)
From Post.py
from model import Model
class Post(Model):
collection_name = "emails"
def __init__(self):
super(Post, self).__init__()
And in app.py I just do
from models.Post import Post
post = Post()
post.save({"email":"[email protected]", "name":"bob"})
When there is no document in the database it inserts fine. But if I try to insert the same again I get the DuplicateKeyError. It is as if MongoDB expects all the fields to have a unique or am I misunderstanding the processes?
Im using the latest version of pymongo.
