No dumps since 0.5.0 version

[tangb]

My code uses dumps function and since last update (0.5.0), this function doesn't exist.
Is it possible to update documented sample ?

Thank you 😄

I will check.
Thanks for report

It seems a module bson is installed with pymongo that overwrites your module content directory.
It's why I hadn't your module functions when I imported bson module while I had bson 0.5.0 installed.

I'm not using py-mongo and am able to reproduce this issue:

I just tired and couldn't reproduce. I will look for it more when get more information.

I'm getting this error with pymongo installed. Could you maybe pack it as a different name?

[Ayun Park]

I will consider with pybson

[Luckydonald]

That would be wonderful.

In my case, I had a problem installing the pymongo package. It created ymong named file inside the venv/site-packages. I just deleted those and it worked ! These files probably starts with the ~ prefix
