The pymongo library connects to a Mongo database server. It is capable of interacting with both local and remote databases. To connect to a local instance, no extra parameters are necessary.
Install it with:
pip install pymongo
To try MongoDB, it is best to launch it in a local docker container:
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 mongo
The following code connects and runs a few queries:
.. literalinclude:: pymongo_connect.py
