ImportError: No module named objectid
django, django-mongodb-engine, mongodb, pymongo, python
Solution
I've ran into something similar, for me the problem was this line:
from pymongo.objectid import ObjectId
The call seems to work in versions of PyMongo < 2.2
In pymongo 2.2 the call to import objectid is:
from bson.objectid import ObjectId
Problem
I have currently django-mongodb-engine 0.4.0 version installed on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 and weirdly encountered an interesting error while importing the 'compiler' module: ``` >> from django_mongodb_engine import compiler ``` and I got the following error: ``` ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_extensions/management/commands/shell_plus.pyc in <module>() ----> 1 from django_mongodb_engine import compiler /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django_mongodb_engine/compiler.pyc in <module>() 15 from pymongo.errors import PyMongoError 16 from pymongo import ASCENDING, DESCENDING ---> 17 from pymongo.objectid import ObjectId, InvalidId 18 19 from djangotoolbox.db.basecompiler import NonrelQuery, NonrelCompiler, \ ImportError: No module named objectid ``` I installed the package via pip command and all the dependencies like pymongo, djangotoolbox have been installed along with it. The pip command I'd used is this: ``` >> sudo env ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' pip install --upgrade django-mongodb-engine ``` The current versions of the related packages are: ``` >> pip freeze | grep mongo django-mongodb-engine==0.4.0 pymongo==2.2 ``` I suspect the django_mongodb_engine package is broken because ObjectId is not imported inside pymongo anymore. Instead, it belongs to bson module. What are your suggestions to fix this problem? Should I clone the django-mongodb-engine project and fix on github?
