Mongodb & Pymongo: How To Store A Set / List?

Apparently it is not possible and the best advice I found so far is to use dict but this is not what I want. Is there still a way to store a set / list in MongoDB?

Solution 1:

With mongo you have to pass a json (which in python we can essentially think of as a dict) in order to do anything really, so say you want to add a list or set of numbers to the hamburgers field in your collection, you would prepare it as follows:

db.your_collection.update({'$push': {'hamburgers': {$each: [1, 2, 3, 4]}}})

if it's a set, you cant convert it to a list

db.your_collection.update({'$push': {'hamburgers': {$each: list({1, 2, 3, 4})}}})
