How do I see mongoengine built query?

Question

How can I print the mongodb query I buid with mongoengine? Example:

queryset = Document.objects(**query)
print queryset.to_mongodb_query()

Answer 1

Yes. There is a .query accessor on the QuerySet. For example:

queryset = Document.objects(field__lte=5)
print queryset._query

Would produce:

{ "field": { "$lte": 5 } }

You can also call .explain() for descriptive output to the query execution statistics if you wanted that at another log level.
