Overview - Python Connector for MongoDB

Overview

Python Connector for MongoDB is a connectivity solution for accessing MongoDB databases from Python applications. It fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification. The connector is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The solution enables you to connect to a MongoDB database from your Python application through TCP/IP, using the libmongoc client library. You can work with MongoDB data as with documents or relational tables—the connector lets you execute SQL statements against your MongoDB data just like you would normally work with a relational database. You can also specify an SSL/TLS certificate to secure communication between the database server and Python application.
