        The :meth:`count` method is deprecated and **not** supported in a
        transaction. Please use
        :meth:`~pymongo.collection.Collection.count_documents` instead.

        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.

        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:

        :class:`~pymongo.collection.Collection` instance on which

          - `with_limit_and_skip` (optional): take any :meth:`limit` or
            :meth:`skip` that has been applied to this cursor into account when
