I am using pymongo driver. Supposedly, one can use a string to query the _id field of a document, like this:

thing = db.things.find_one({'_id':'4ea113d6b684853c8e000001'})

But it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

    It should be :

    from pymongo.objectid import ObjectId   
thing = db.things.find_one({'_id': ObjectId('4ea113d6b684853c8e000001') })

    EDIT:
    The current import is:
    from bson.objectid import ObjectId
