Python MongoDB Connectivity

To create connection between Python programming language and MongoDB database, we need to first install pymongo driver. Here, we are creating an example that connects to the database and performs basic database operations.

This example includes the following steps:

1) Install Driver

  1. $ pip install pymongo

2) Create Python File

// connect.py

  1. from pymongo import MongoClient # import mongo client to connect
  2. import pprint
  3. # Creating instance of mongoclient
  4. client = MongoClient()
  5. # Creating database
  6. db = client.javatpoint
  7. employee = {“id”“101”,
  8. “name”“Peter”,
  9. “profession”“Software Engineer”,
  10. }
  11. # Creating document
  12. employees = db.employees
  13. # Inserting data
  14. employees.insert_one(employee)
  15. # Fetching data
  16. pprint.pprint(employees.find_one())

3) Execute Python Script

This script prints the inserted record on the console.
