MongoDB Python Codio Add a new document to the collection

Question

So I'm supposed to use Codio to create a Python file that creates a new document to the existing MongoDB collection called 'inspections' in the database 'city' But it's not successfully adding the new document to the collection.

import json
from bson import json_util
from pymongo import MongoClient

connection = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
db = connection['city']
collection = db['inspections']

def insert_document(document):
    try:
        result=collection.save(document)
    except ValidationError as ve:
        abort(400, str(ve))
return result

def main():
    print "Hi"
    myDocument = { "id" : "0203-2019-ssp1",
               "certificate_number" : 5382334,
               "business_name" : "BUILDING TO SERVE INC.",
               "date" : "Jul 22 2015",
               "result" : "Violation Issued",
               "sector" : "Home Improvement Contractor - 100",
               "address" : [ "city" : "JAMAICA", "zip" : 11432, "street" : 
               "HILLSIDE AVE", "number" : 17939 ] }

    print insert_document(myDocument)

main()

This is how I ran the Create.py file in the Codio terminal.

After running the Create.py, I did db.inspections.find({"id":"0203-2019-ssp1"}) but it's not there.

pymongo.collection.Collection.save is a deprecated method in version 3.0 and up of the pymongo library ¹

Ideally, you want to use the pymongo.collection.Collection.insert_one ²

def insert_document(document):
    try:
        result=collection.insert_one(document)
    except ValidationError as ve:
        abort(400, str(ve))
    return result
