Is there a pymongo (or another Python library) bulk-save?

Question

I'm trying to write a function to do a bulk-save to a mongoDB using pymongo, is there a way of doing it? I've already tried using insert and it works for new records but it fails on duplicates. I need the same functionality that you get using save but with a collection of documents (it replaces an already added document with the same _id instead of failing).

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you can use bulk insert with option w=0 (ex safe=False), but then you should do a check to see if all documents were actually inserted if this is important for you
