The mapping from Python types to Mongo types is as follows:

|

=========================== ============= ===================
|
||||
Python Type Mongo Type Supported Direction
|
||||
=========================== ============= ===================
|
||||
float number (real) both
|
||||
unicode string both
|
||||
dict / `SON` object both
|
||||
list array both
|
||||
string binary both
|
||||
`pymongo.objectid.ObjectId` oid both
|
||||
bool boolean both
|
||||
datetime.datetime date both
|
||||
None null both
|
||||
compiled re regex both
|
||||
`pymongo.dbref.DBRef` dbref both
|

int number (int) both
|
||||
None undefined mongo -> py
|
||||
unicode code mongo -> py
|
||||
unicode symbol mongo -> py
|
||||
=========================== ============= ===================
|
||||
|

The most important thing to note about this mapping is that Mongo strings
|
||||
are only created from Python unicode objects. Python strings will be saved
|
||||
as the Mongo binary type.
