Pyramid Mongodb

A simple library to integrate mongodb into your pyramid application. Integrates with pyramid_mongodb2_debugtoolbar.

Features

• Supports multiple databases
• Configuration only setup
• Integrated debugtoolbar
• Avoids recreating and closing MongoClient on every request.

Setup

pip install pyramid_mongodb 

Add the following to your application's ini file, (include pyramid_mongodb2_debugtoolbar if you want to debug):

[app:main]
mongo_uri = mongodb://username:password@mongodb.host.com:27017/authdb
mongo_db = 
    foo
    bar
pyramid.includes =
    pyramid_mako    
    pyramid_debugtoolbar
    pyramid_mongodb2
    pyramid_mongodb2_debugtoolbar
debugtoolbar.includes =
    pyramid_mongodb2_debugtoolbar:MongoToolbar

The code will use config.add_request_method() to add a Database object to your requests, where each database is accessable by db_database_name, as defined in your configuration. In your code where you can access request, you now have the following variables:

request.db
request.db_foo
request.db_bar

request.db is the MongoClient object, should you ever need it.

In your view code, you can do this:

from pyramid.view import view_config

@view_config(route_name='home', renderer="templates/landing.mako")
def my_view(request):
    return {
        'some_data': request.db_foo.some_collection.find({'a': {'$gte': 5}}, {'_id': False}),
        'other_data': request.db_bar.visitors.insert_one({'person': request.remote_addr}),
    }
