python mongokit Connection() AssertionError

Question

just installed mongokit and can't figure out why I get AssertionError

python console:

>>> from mongokit import Connection
>>> c = Connection()
Traceback (most recent call last):

db 1.5 pymongo 1.5 (tested also on 1.4.) mongokit 0.5.3 (also 0.5.2)

This is a known issue in PyMongo working against devel (>1.4.0) versions of MongoDB. Just released PyMongo 1.5.2 w/ a fix - try upgrading to that.
