python - PyMongo and Mongodb: using update() -

i trying use pymongo update existing index:

#!/usr/bin/env python  import pymongo pymongo import mongoclient client = mongoclient() db = client.alfmonitor tests = db.tests  post = {     'name' : 'blah',     'active' : true,     'url' : 'http://www.google.com', }  tests.insert(post)  tests_list = db.tests.find({'active':true, 'name':'blah'}) test in tests_list:     test['active'] = false     test.update(         test,     )  print '===================================================='  test in db.tests.find():     print test #<- when print out these, active=true still showing 

i've been trying follow documentation , examples have seen on none of them seem working me. can explain i'm doing wrong here?

thanks!

use (don't forget add multi=true if want update all matches):

db.tests.update({'active':true, 'name':'blah'}, {'$set': {'active': false}}, multi=true)

why code isn't working:

for test in tests_list:     # test of dict type     test['active'] = false     # calling method of dict type     # adds values dictionary test dictionary test,     # nothing goes database     test.update(         test,     )
