| Info: | Minimal database Model management for MongoDB. |

| Author: | Steve Lacy (github@slacy.com) |
minimongo is a lightweight, schemaless, Pythonic Object-Oriented
interface to MongoDB.
It provides a very thin, dynamicly typed (schema-less) object management
layer for any data stored in any MongoDB collection. minimongo directly
calls the existing pymongo query syntax.
minimongo can easily layer on top of existing MongoDB collections, and
will work properly with almost any existing schema, even from third party
applications.
If you have setuptools
you can use easy_install -U minimongo. Otherwise, you can download the
source from GitHub and run python
setup.py install.
Here's a very brief example of creating an object, querying for it, modifying a field, and then saving it back again:
from minimongo import Model, Index
class Foo(Model):
class Meta:
# Here, we specify the database and collection names.
# A connection to your DB is automatically created.
database = "minimongo"
collection = "rocks"
# Now, we programatically declare what indices we want.
# The arguments to the Index constructor are identical to
# the args to pymongo"s ensure_index function.
indices = (
Index("a"),
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Create & save an object, and return a local in-memory copy of it:
foo = Foo({"x": 1, "y": 2}).save()
# Find that object again, loading it into memory:
foo = Foo.collection.find_one({"x": 1})
# Change a field value, and save it back to the DB.
foo.other = "some data"
foo.save()Please email github@slacy.com with comments, suggestions, or comment via http://github.com/slacy/minimongo
