Question

I want to discover all the persons named John that are in the cast of the collection show_info. This works in the mongo shell. db.show_info.find({ 'cast': /john/i})

But when I do this in python it won't work because I have to convert /john/i to a string.

This does not work in python using pymongo:

quote = {'cast': "/" + name + "/i"}
results = db.show_info.find(quote)

How can I make this query work in python using pymongo?

Answer 1

You can use $regex , see more in the doc

{
  "cast": {
    "$regex": "john",
    "$options": "i"
  }
}
