• Creating a User Registration Page using MongoEngine

  - by Drew Watkins

  I am currently working an a webapp, using mongoengine and django, which will require users to create an account from a registration page. I know MongoEngine has an authentication backend, but does it also include a registration form, etc..., like django itself does? If not, are there any example projects which show how to implement this? The only open-source mongoengine project I've found is django-mumblr, but I can't find the examples I want in it. I'm not interested in alternative options, such as MongoKit or mango for handling authentication. I am just getting started with django and mongoDB, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. Thanks in advance for the help!

• How to store and retrieve file in mongoengine?

  - by Seiverence

  I am attempting to store and retrieve file within mongodb, but am having issues with the retrieval. class Animal(Document): genus = StringField() family = StringField() photo = FileField() def get_file(): marmot = Animal.objects(genus='Marmota').first() photo = marmot.photo.read() content_type = marmot.photo.content_type print marmot.family # Prints out "Sciuridae" print content_type # Gives me an error, as content_type is "None" def save_file(): marmot = Animal( genus='Marmota', family='Sciuridae') marmot_photo = open('marmot.jpg', 'r') marmot.photo = marmot_photo marmot.photo.content_type = 'image/jpeg' marmot.save() When I check mongodb, it appears the document does save after the save_file, but when I call get_file, it appears the content_type is "None"? Am I saving and retrieving the file correctly? If not, whats wrong with the code? NOTE: The issue appears only to occur in the Windows environment. When run on linux, it works fine... very confused.

• Is it bad practice to extend the MongoEngine User document?

  - by Soviut

  I'm integrating MongoDB using MongoEngine. It provides auth and session support that a standard pymongo setup would lack. In regular django auth, it's considered bad practice to extend the User model since there's no guarantee it will be used correctly everywhere. Is this the case with mongoengine.django.auth? If it is considered bad practice, what is the best way to attach a separate user profile? Django has mechanisms for specifying an AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE. Is this supported in MongoEngine as well, or should I be manually doing the lookup?

• Which Python API should be used with Mongo DB and Django

  - by Thomas

  I have been going back and forth over which Python API to use when interacting with Mongo. I did a quick survey of the landscape and identified three leading candidates. PyMongo MongoEngine Ming If you were designing a new content-heavy website using the django framework, what API would you choose and why? MongoEngine looks like it was built specifically with Django in mind. PyMongo appears to be a thin wrapper around Mongo. It has a lot of power, though loses a lot of the abstractions gained through using django as a framework. Ming represents an interesting middle ground between PyMongo and MongoEngine, though I haven't had the opportunity to take it for a test drive.

• Python metaprogramming help

  - by Timmy

  im looking into mongoengine, and i wanted to make a class an "EmbeddedDocument" dynamically, so i do this def custom(cls): cls = type( cls.__name__, (EmbeddedDocument,), cls.__dict__.copy() ) cls.a = FloatField(required=True) cls.b = FloatField(required=True) return cls A = custom( A ) and tried it on some classes, but its not doing some of the base class's init or sumthing in BaseDocument def __init__(self, **values): self._data = {} # Assign initial values to instance for attr_name, attr_value in self._fields.items(): if attr_name in values: setattr(self, attr_name, values.pop(attr_name)) else: # Use default value if present value = getattr(self, attr_name, None) setattr(self, attr_name, value) but this never gets used, thus never setting ._data, and giving me errors. how do i do this?
