Since pymongo version 3.7.0 and above [count() is deprecated](

). Instead use [`Collection.count_documents`](

). Running `cursor.count` or `collection.count` will result in following warning message:
DeprecationWarning: count is deprecated. Use Collection.count_documents instead.
To use `count_documents` the code can be adjusted as follows
import pymongo
db = pymongo.MongoClient()
col = db[DATABASE][COLLECTION]
find = {"test_set":"abc"}
sort = [("abc",pymongo.DESCENDING)]
skip = 10
limit = 10
doc_count = col.count_documents(find, skip=skip)
results = col.find(find).sort(sort).skip(skip).limit(limit)
for doc in result:
//Process Document
**Note:** `count_documents` method performs relatively slow as compared to `count` method. In order to optimize you can use [`collection.estimated_document_count`](

). This method will return estimated number of docs(as the name suggested) based on collection metadata.
