MongoDB with python - two actions in one query

Question

i try to alter an document with 2 operations in one query:

_userstats.update(
    {"nick" : nick},
    {"$set" : {"online" : True}},
    {"$inc" : {"joined" : 1}})

But when i try this, i get en error:

raise TypeError("upsert must be an instance of bool")
TypeError: upsert must be an instance of bool

I dont get this to work. Can someone please help me to figure out what exactly my fault is?

You should put all update operations in one dictionary passed as second argument to update:

_userstats.update(
    {"nick" : nick},
    {"$set" : {"online" : True}, "$inc" : {"joined" : 1}})

You are passing the second operation as a third argument, which is not the way update function works. You should put all the operations in one object. Try this:

_userstats.update(
    {"nick" : nick},
    {{"$set" : {"online" : True}},
     {"$inc" : {"joined" : 1}}})
