Mongodb create index with flask mongokit extension

Question

I'm trying to create an index with a flask-mongokit connection:

db = MongoKit(app)
db.mydatabase.users.create_index("email", unique=True)

But it throws this error at me:

...
host=ctx.app.config.get('MONGODB_HOST'),
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'app'

If I use Pymongo directly instead:

conn = MongoClient()
conn.mydatabase.users.create_index("email", unique=True)

Everithing works fine!

The problem is that I don't want to manage a pymongo's connection but instead use the one created by the mongokit extension.

I didn't define ctx since pymongo works without me having to define it — danielrvt, Mar 08 '13 at 17:39

I found the solution, it seems that mongokit doesn't support index creation since version 7.x, they really should remove index creation from the official documentation.
