Now for using index we can use helper cursor.hint(index). index should be an index as passed to create_index() (e.g. [('field', ASCENDING)]):

collection.ensure_index(name="indexname", [("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])

cursor.hint([("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])

But it will be more flexible to get an opportunity to write

collection.ensure_index(name="indexname", [("length", pymongo.ASCENDING)])

cursor.hint("indexname")
