Python can be used in database applications.
One of the most popular NoSQL database is MongoDB.
MongoDB
MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents, which makes the database very
flexible and scalable.
To be able experiment with the code examples in this tutorial, you will need access to a
MongoDB database.
You can download a free MongoDB database at
https://www.mongodb.com.
PyMongo
Python needs a MongoDB driver to access the MongoDB database.
In this tutorial we will use the MongoDB driver "PyMongo".
We recommend that you use PIP to install "PyMongo".
PIP is most likely already installed in your Python environment.
Navigate your command line to the location of PIP, and type the following:
Download and install "PyMongo":
C:UsersYour NameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32Scripts>python -m pip install pymongo
Now you have downloaded and installed a mongoDB driver.
Test PyMongo
To test if the installation was successful, or if you already have "pymongo"
installed, create a Python page with
the following content:
demo_mongodb_test.py:
import pymongoRun example »
If the above code was executed with no errors, "pymongo" is installed and
ready to be used.
