Mongokit - Find Last Added Record

Using Mongokit with Python. Having some trouble working out get the last n number of records. Not sure of the syntax Python wants here exactly, but I have:

record = collection.find(sort = [{'timestamp': DESCENDING}],limit=10)

Which gives me the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help would be great.

You should give it a [(field, direction), ...] list, not a dict.

Sorting specifications must necessarily be ordered; dicts are not ordered.

Not sure that you need to use a list, try just (field, direction).
