Inserting new attribute to a document using MongoDB ( Python )

Question

I'm new with MOngoDB ( coming from CouchDB ) and I am having issues with adding new attributes to my documents in MongDB using the MonDB python driver.

For example, I have the following document:

{ '_id':123456, 'text':"this is nice" } 

And I want to insert a new attribute, for example:

{ '_id':123456, 'text':"this is nice", 'created_time':datetime.datetime.now() } 

How do I go about adding the created_time attribute to my document?

Thanks!

db.collection.update({'_id' : ObjectId(...)},                       {'$set' : {'create_time' : datetime(..) }})
