insert data in mongodb with python

Question

this is my first shot at using dbs and I'm having some trouble with the basics. Tried to look online but couldnt find answers to simple questions. When I try to add some info to my db, I get a whole bunch of errors.

import pymongo


def get_db():
    from pymongo import MongoClient
    client = MongoClient("mongodb://xxxxxx:[email protected]:29735/xxxxxxx")
    db = client.myDB
    return db

def add_country(db):
    db.countries.insert({"name": "Canada"})

def get_country(db):
    return db.contries.find_one()

db = get_db()
add_country(db)

I got this error message:

please edit the formatting, this is horrible to read! I don't know about your problem, but maybe a write permissions problem? Can you try with a read request instead of a write request? — Jean-François Fabre

when I only do : db =get_db() print db it prints this: Database(MongoClient(host=['ds029735.mlab.com:29735'], document_class=dict, tz_aware=False, connect=True), u'myDB' which I guess means I am connected to db, but I can't seem to add anything — VincFort

Check twice if your xxxxxxx from ds029735.mlab.com:29735/xxxxxxx is equal to myDB from db = client.myDB. I mean if your connection string is mongodb://username:[email protected]:29735/xyz then your code should be db = client.xyz and not db = client.zyx (or other names).
Check in mLab control panel if your user is Read-Only https://i.sstatic.net/UIRr2.png

Both of these issues returns errors like your so I don't know with which one you have faced.

Thanks for response. Why should user be Read-Only ? will check later if they work, but I know my user isn't Read-Only.

@VincFort it shouldn't but OperationFailure: not authorized on myDB to execute command can be thrown if it is.

from pymongo import MongoClient

#import json

client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
mydb = client.db_University

def add_client(student_name, student_age, student_roll, student_branch):
    unique_client = mydb.students.find_one({"name":student_name}, {"_id":0})
    if unique_client:
        return " already exists"
    else:
        mydb.students.insert(
                {
                "name" : student_name,
                "age" : student_age,
                "roll no" : student_roll,
                "branch" : student_branch,

                })
        return "student added successfully"

student_name = raw_input("Enter stuent Name: ")
student_age = raw_input("Enter student age: ")
student_roll = raw_input("Enter student roll no: ")
student_branch = raw_input("Enter student branch: ")

print add_client(student_name,student_age,student_roll,student_branch)


def view_client(student_name):
    user = mydb.students.find_one({"name":student_name}, {"_id":0})
    if user:
        name = user["name"]
        age = user["age"]
        rollno = user["roll no"]
        branch = user["branch"]

        return {"name":name,"age":age,"roll no":rollno,"branch":branch}
    else:
        return "Sorry, No such student exists"


user = raw_input("Enter student name to find: ")
user_data = view_client(user)

print user_data
