How to specify a collation in a find query

[AdrienDS]

Is it possible to specify a collation on a find / find_one query: ( Ref & PyMongo ) with txmongo ?

That can be used along with a Case Insensitive Index to do a case-insensitive search without regexps

Sorry for late answer. Unfortunately txmongo doesn't support collation queries yet. Collation is only permitted in new-style command-based MongoDB protocol while we are still using old-style 2.x one. So it isn't trivial to add collation support, although certainly possible and desired.

Thanks for your response ! Is a support of the new-style planned for any upcoming release ?

I would love to see this feature in the next release, but development is going slow recently due to lack of spare time or developers (and because there are no new features required by the company I'm working for).
I've marked this issue as feature request, so we can recall it when we find time.

Anyways, your help is welcomed! :)
