ImportError: cannot import name MongoClient

[Yaroslav Kyrpych]

Hi,

I am trying to run pymongo in Python, and getting the following error when Python code tries to execute: ImportError: cannot import name MongoClient.

I have mognod running. Here's relevant part of code:

import pymongo

from pymongo import MongoClient

client=MongoClient()

db=client.test_db

collection=db.test_collection

Any suggestions? Do I need to specify path to mongodb location?

Thank you,

Yaroslav

What version of PyMongo are you using? MongoClient was added in 2.4.

That's the version of python you are using. I'm looking for the pymongo version. Do this and post the result:

python -c "import pymongo; print pymongo.version"

Great. I still need to know what version of PyMongo you are using.

C:\Python33\python.exe -c "import pymongo; print pymongo.version"

Sorry, since you are using python 3.3:

C:\Python33\python.exe -c "import pymongo; print(pymongo.version)"

Tried to run as suggested. Strangely, I am getting error - module object has no attribute 'version'.
