mongoimport CSV with pymongo

I found a command for mongodb which lets you import CSV files as a whole: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongoimport/

like this:

mongoimport --db users --type csv --headerline --file /opt/backups/contacts.csv

However, there seems to be no mention of this in Pymongo. Does it exists, and if so what is the syntax for it? Thanks in advance

mongoimport is a command-line program that you install. Instructions for installing MongoDB, including its tools like mongoimport, are here:

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community/

Once you've done that, execute mongoimport from the Unix shell or Windows command prompt, whichever system you're on.

PyMongo is a Python driver for MongoDB, it allows you to write Python code that executes queries and commands on MongoDB over the network. PyMongo is separate from the MongoDB tools like mongoimport.
