Bernie Hackett 839893939e PYTHON-821 - Deprecated legacy API.
This commit deprecates insert, update, save, and remove. Each
now raises DeprecationWarning at stacklevel 2. This change also
updates all tutorials and example documentation to use the new
CRUD API, tests the deprecations, and fixes up a few more tests
that were still using the legacy API.

Python 3 FAQ
============
.. contents::
What Python 3 versions are supported?
-------------------------------------
PyMongo supports Python 3.x where x >= 2.
Are there any PyMongo behavior changes with Python 3?
-----------------------------------------------------
Only one intentional change. Instances of :class:`bytes`
are encoded as BSON type 5 (Binary data) with subtype 0.
In Python 3 they are decoded back to :class:`bytes`. In
Python 2 they will be decoded to :class:`~bson.binary.Binary`
with subtype 0.
For example, let's insert a :class:`bytes` instance using Python 3 then
read it back. Notice the byte string is decoded back to :class:`bytes`::
Python 3.2.5 (default, Feb 26 2014, 12:40:25)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pymongo
>>> c = pymongo.MongoClient()
>>> c.test.bintest.insert_one({'binary': b'this is a byte string'}).inserted_id
ObjectId('4f9086b1fba5222021000000')
>>> c.test.bintest.find_one()
{'binary': b'this is a byte string', '_id': ObjectId('4f9086b1fba5222021000000')}
Now retrieve the same document in Python 2. Notice the byte string is decoded
to :class:`~bson.binary.Binary`::
Python 2.7.6 (default, Feb 26 2014, 10:36:22)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pymongo
>>> c = pymongo.MongoClient()
>>> c.test.bintest.find_one()
{u'binary': Binary('this is a byte string', 0), u'_id': ObjectId('4f9086b1fba5222021000000')}
Why can't I share pickled ObjectIds between some versions of Python 2 and 3?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instances of :class:`~bson.objectid.ObjectId` pickled using Python 2
can always be unpickled using Python 3. Due to
`http://bugs.python.org/issue13505 <http://bugs.python.org/issue13505>`_
you must use Python 3.2.3 or newer to pickle instances of ObjectId if you
need to unpickle them in Python 2.
If you pickled an ObjectId using Python 2 and want to unpickle it using
Python 3 you must pass ``encoding='latin-1'`` to pickle.loads::
Python 2.7.6 (default, Feb 26 2014, 10:36:22)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> from bson.objectid import ObjectId
>>> oid = ObjectId()
>>> oid
ObjectId('4f919ba2fba5225b84000000')
>>> pickle.dumps(oid)
'ccopy_reg\n_reconstructor\np0\n(cbson.objectid\...'
Python 3.2.5 (default, Feb 26 2014, 12:40:25)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.loads(b'ccopy_reg\n_reconstructor\np0\n(cbson.objectid\...', encoding='latin-1')
ObjectId('4f919ba2fba5225b84000000')
If you need to pickle ObjectIds using Python 3 and unpickle them using Python 2
you must use Python 3.2.3 or newer and ``protocol <= 2``::
Python 3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> from bson.objectid import ObjectId
>>> oid = ObjectId()
>>> oid
ObjectId('4f96f20c430ee6bd06000000')
>>> pickle.dumps(oid, protocol=2)
b'\x80\x02cbson.objectid\nObjectId\nq\x00)\x81q\x01c_codecs\nencode\...'
Python 2.6.9 (unknown, Feb 26 2014, 12:39:10)
[GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.loads('\x80\x02cbson.objectid\nObjectId\nq\x00)\x81q\x01c_codecs\nencode\...')
ObjectId('4f96f20c430ee6bd06000000')
Unfortunately this won't work if you pickled the ObjectId using a Python 3
version older than 3.2.3::
Python 3.2.2 (default, Mar 21 2012, 14:32:23)
[GCC 4.5.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> from bson.objectid import ObjectId
>>> oid = ObjectId()
>>> pickle.dumps(oid, protocol=2)
b'\x80\x02cbson.objectid\nObjectId\nq\x00)\x81q\x01c__builtin__\nbytes\...'
Python 2.4.6 (#1, Apr 12 2012, 14:48:24)
[GCC 4.5.3] on linux3
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.loads('\x80\x02cbson.objectid\nObjectId\nq\x00)\x81q\x01c__builtin__\nbytes\...')

.. warning::
Unpickling in Python 2.6 or 2.7 an ObjectId pickled in a Python 3 version
older than 3.2.3 will seem to succeed but the resulting ObjectId instance
will contain garbage data.
