2nd code snippet - add_short_descriptions method

The example shows an error as to make the search of documents with the $in operator on the _id field, the passed argument is not a list of ObjectId:

def add_short_descriptions():
node_ids_to_migrate = db.nodes.find(
{'short_description': {'$exists':False}}).limit(100)
db.nodes.update(
{ '_id': {'$in': node_ids_to_migrate } },
{ '$set': { 'short_description': '' } },
multi=True)

A list comprehension is suggested:

def add_short_descriptions():
selected_nodes = db.nodes.find(
{'short_description': {'$exists':False}}).limit(100)
node_ids_to_migrate = [n['_id'] for n in selected_nodes]
db.nodes.update(
{ '_id': {'$in': node_ids_to_migrate } },
{ '$set': { 'short_description': '' } },
multi=True)

Note from the Author or Editor:
Absolutely correct -- the submitter's code example should replace the code example in the book.

example code in "Commenting on a Post"

strfime -> strftime
missing "t".

Also, this can be seen in page 137.

Note from the Author or Editor:
These should both indeed be spelled 'strftime'
