pymongo : delete records elegantly

Question

Here is my code to delete a bunch of records using pymongo

ids = [] with MongoClient(MONGODB_HOST) as connection:     db = connection[MONGODB_NAME]     collection = db[MONGODN_COLLECTION]     for obj in collection.find({"date": {"$gt": "2012-12-15"}}):         ids.append(obj["_id"])     for id in ids:         print id         collection.remove({"_id":ObjectId(id)}) 

IS there a better way to delete these records? like delete a whole set of records directly

collection.find({"date": {"$gt": "2012-12-15"}}).delete() or remove() 

or delete from obj like

 obj.delete() or obj.remove() 

or somehting similar?

Answer 1

You can use the following:

collection.remove({"date": {"$gt": "2012-12-15"}})
