ImportError: No module named objectid

Question

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:

Answer 1

I'm on Python3 (in 2017) and found that the following works:

from pymongo import MongoClient
from bson import ObjectId

Answer 2

I tried to install bson with pip directly. Uninstall, and install pymongo instead and the error didnt reappear.

Answer 3

Looks like they're already aware (see this pull request), but no one's created a pull request against the develop branch yet. You could try fixing that and submit a new pull request.

Answer 4

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
