Chapter 3. Python - MongoDB

        <div class="divider"></div>

        <P>Python can be used in database applications.<br>
            One of the most popular NoSQL database is MongoDB.</P>

        <H5>MongoDB</H5>
        <p>MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents, which makes the database very flexible and scalable.<br>
            To be able to experiment with the code examples in this tutorial, you will need access to a MongoDB database. <br>
            You can download a free MongoDB database at <a href="https://www.mongodb.com">mongoDB</a></p>

        <div class="divider"></div>


        <H5>PyMongo</H5>
        <p>Python needs a MongoDB driver to access the MongoDB database. <br>
            In this tutorial we will use the MongoDB driver "PyMongo".<br>
            We recommend that you use PIP to install "PyMongo".<br>
            PIP is most likely already installed in your Python environment.<br>
            Navigate your command line to the location of PIP, and type the following:</p>


        <div class="row">
            <div class="card-panel grey lighten-5 z-depth-1">
                <div class="row valign-wrapper">
                    <div class="col s12">
                        <p>C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>python -m pip install pymongo</div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

        <p>Now you have downloaded and installed a mongoDB driver.</p>

        <div class="divider"></div>

        <H5>Test PyMongo</H5>
        <p>To test if the installation was successful, or if you already have "pymongo" installed, create a Python page with the following content:</p>


        <div class="row">
            <div class="card-panel grey lighten-5 z-depth-1">
                <div class="row valign-wrapper">
                    <div class="col s12">
                        <p>import pymongo</div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

        <p>If the above code was executed with no errors, "pymongo" is installed and ready to be used.</p>
