can't connect mongodb in python

Question

I can't connect mongodb on server with debian and python 2.6.6 on this line:

connection = pymongo.Connection('mongodb://localhost', safe = True)

TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'safe'

The same code works on window machine with python 2.7.3. Could you please explain how to correct this error?

I have pymongo version 2.3 on machine where it works and 1.7 where it doesn't work.

I tried on server: pymongo.__dict__['version']. It shows: 1.7 — Oleg

pymongo 1.7 does not have 'safe' parameter of the 'Connection' method. Moreover this version is really old one. You should look for a updating. — alexvassel

Seems like you are using different versions of pymongo.

Could you explan what you mean? You answer is not concrete and doesn't answer the question now.

your question does not actually explain the problem. How many machines do you use? We suppose that there are two machines: with python 2.6 and with python 2.7. Right?

Yes, that true. One windows machine with 2.7 (script works on it) and one debian with python 2.6 (where script doesn't work)

check versions on every machine.

Ensure that both servers have the same pymongo version installed. Likely a version mismatch with slightly different parameter lists for the Connection constructor.
