Description:
 def count(self, with_limit_and_skip=False):
 """Get the size of the results set for this query. Returns the number of documents in the results set for this query. Does not take :meth:`limit` and :meth:`skip` into account by default - set `with_limit_and_skip` to ``True`` if that is the desired behavior. Raises :class:`~pymongo.errors.OperationFailure` on a database error. When used with MongoDB >= 2.6, :meth:`~count` uses any :meth:`~hint` applied to the query. In the following example the hint is passed to the count command: collection.find({'field': 'value'}).hint('field_1').count() The :meth:`count` method obeys the :attr:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.read_preference` of the :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` instance on which :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.find` was called. :Parameters: - `with_limit_and_skip` (optional):
 take any :meth:`limit` or :meth:`skip` that has been applied to this cursor into account when getting the count .. note:: The `with_limit_and_skip` parameter requires server version **>= 1.1.4-** .. versionchanged:: 2.8 The :meth:`~count` method now supports :meth:`~hint`. """
