pymongo 2.1.1+
sphinx (optional - for documentation generation)
Examples
Some simple examples of what MongoEngine code looks like:
class BlogPost(Document):
title = StringField(required=True, max_length=200)
posted = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
tags = ListField(StringField(max_length=50))
class TextPost(BlogPost):
content = StringField(required=True)
class LinkPost(BlogPost):
url = StringField(required=True)
# Create a text-based post
>>> post1 = TextPost(title='Using MongoEngine', content='See the tutorial')
>>> post1.tags = ['mongodb', 'mongoengine']
>>> post1.save()
# Create a link-based post
>>> post2 = LinkPost(title='MongoEngine Docs', url='hmarr.com/mongoengine')
>>> post2.tags = ['mongoengine', 'documentation']
>>> post2.save()
# Iterate over all posts using the BlogPost superclass
>>> for post in BlogPost.objects:
... print '===', post.title, '==='
... if isinstance(post, TextPost):
... print post.content
... elif isinstance(post, LinkPost):
... print 'Link:', post.url
... print
...
