PyMongo

PyMongo is a free Python driver developed for MongoDB, the NoSQL database platform. This distribution comes packed with the necessary tools for communicating with a MondoDB database from Python: bson, pymongo, and gridfs. It can be used to improve the development process.

Specifically made for Python, bson relies on the Binary JSON format, which is used for storing JSON-like documents and performing network transfers in MongoDB. pymongo represents a native Python driver for MongoDB, while gridfs is an implementation of GridFSa, a tool that stores files in two collections: chunks (with binary chunks) and files (with file metadata).

There are multiple editions of this driver available, depending on which Python version you have installed. Aside from this programming language, it doesn't have any other pre-requisites.

On the other hand, it works hand in hand with backports.pbkdf2 (enhances authentication for SCRAM-SHA-1), pykerberos (necessary for GSSAPI authentication), Monotime (mononotic clock for workspaces with frequent clock adjustments), wincertstore (SSL server verification using CA certificates from Windows on older Python versions), and certifi (Mozilla CA bundle for SSL server verification).
