Remote access from Python script (MongoKit)

[Максим Ващук]

I have mongodb running on a remote server. I can ssh to the remote server and connect to mongodb from the shell on the remote machine. However i have to connect to that mongodb instance from my python script. How can I get access to data in such a db and use it in my python script? 

I use MongoKit to work with mongodb. Is there a possible solution based on it?

As I understand  you can't connect to remote machine directly.

You can create ssh tunnel and port forward one mongo db port.

on linux/mac it's done easily with ssh command and -L key:

ssh <remote_server_host> -L 27017:localhost:27017 -N -v

After this you can connect to remote db using 'localhost:27014'

Hope that helps

Can you get to mongo remotely on the command line?  `mongo host` should connect.  If that fails, there are likely networking issues.  You should be able to use MongoKit by doing something like

```

        connection = mongokit.Connection( 'hostname', 'port')

```

Check http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/api/pymongo/connection.html?highlight=connection#pymongo.connection for more details, mongokit.Connection is just a wrapper around that, and should use the same API.
