MongoDB Python Quick Start Code

This repository contains sample code from the MongoDB Python Quick Start series.

There are currently two posts in the series:

• Basic MongoDB Operations in Python
• Getting Started with Aggregation Pipelines in Python

How To Run It

The source code is all in the src directory. It is written for Python 3.6 and later.

Full instructions on how to set up your Python environment for this code can be found in the first blog post in the series, Basic MongoDB Operations in Python.

To install the dependencies, create a virtualenv using your favourite tool, such as venv or virtualenv, activate it, and then run:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

You will also want to set the environment variable MONGODB_URI to your MongoDB Atlas cluster, either on the command-line, or in a .env file.

Once you've installed the dependencies and set MONGODB_URI you can run the python scripts directly with something like:

python3 src/01_crud_operations.py
