Answer 1

You need to use $push

if (_id_exists):

        newAdrz = {"$push": {"addresses": 
                            {
                                street: "1 Some Other Street", 
                                city: "Boston",
                                state: "MA", 
                                zip: "12345"
                            }}
                   }

        self.collection.update({_id: "joe"}, newAdrz)

else:

        root = {_id: "joe",name: "Joe Bookreader",
            addresses: [
            {
              street: "123 Fake Street",
              city: "Faketon",
              state: "MA",
              zip: "12345"
            }]
                }

          self.collection.insert(root)

This will update the addresses array if _id already exists in the mongodb
