how to apply aggregate in pymongo

Question

Through the following query in MongoDb , I get all the teams from the entire data.

db.player_level_data.aggregate([{$group : {_id: {team_name : "$team_name"}}}]).toArray()

I need to import this array of teams in python through pymongo.I tried the following code.

pipe = [
{'$group': {'_id': {'team_name' : "$team_name"}}}
]
data  = db.player_level_data.aggregate(pipeline=pipe)
pprint (data)

But it printed a pymongo cursor object. Any ideas on this. Thanks

Answer 1

I assume cursor object is generator , so simply convert it to list and print that list:

pprint(list(data))

Note that data whould be empty after printing. so if you need to continue work on that data save list(data) to variable and interact with that variable:

l_data = list(data)
pprint(l_data)

Answer 2

Of course, this returns a cursor object.

list(cursor)

should get you a list of the items.
