About
=====
The ``pymongo`` module is a native Python driver for the Mongo database.

Installation
============
If you have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_ installed you should be able to do ``easy_install pymongo`` to install PyMongo. Otherwise you can download the project source and do ``python setup.py install`` to install.

Dependencies
============
- `ElementTree <http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm>`_
- (to generate documentation) `epydoc <http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/>`_

Example
=======
>>> from pymongo.connection import Connection
>>> connection = Connection("localhost", 27017)
>>> db = connection.test
>>> db.name()
u'test'
>>> db.my_collection
Collection(Database(Connection('localhost', 27017), u'test'),
u'my_collection')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 10})
ObjectId('\x03\x1c\x06\x8d|\x9d}O\x8b\xaf!\xa0')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 8})
ObjectId('\x18\x1f\xa4lOV&\x0bH\xf9%A')
>>> db.my_collection.save({"x": 11})
ObjectId('R\xa3\x85p\xc3m=\xe5\x0e*\x1d\xa7')
>>> db.my_collection.find_one()
SON([(u'x', 10), (u'_id',
ObjectId('\x03\x1c\x06\x8d|\x9d}O\x8b\xaf!\xa0'))])
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find():
...     print item["x"]
...
10
8
11
>>> from pymongo.database import ASCENDING
>>> db.my_collection.create_index("x", ASCENDING)
>>> for item in db.my_collection.find().sort("x", ASCENDING):
...     print item["x"]
...
8
10
11
>>> [item["x"] for item in db.my_collection.find().limit(2).skip(1)]
[8, 11]

Documentation
=============
Documentation can be generated by running ``epydoc --config=epydoc-config``.

Testing
=======
The easiest way to run the tests is to install `nose <http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/>`_ (``easy_install nose``) and run ``python setup.py test`` in the root of the distribution. Tests are located in the ``test/`` directory.
