About
=====
MongoEngine is a Python Object-Document Mapper for working with MongoDB.
Documentation is available at https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io - there
is currently a `tutorial <https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io/tutorial.html>`_,
a `user guide <https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io/guide/index.html>`_, and
an `API reference <https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io/apireference.html>`_.

Supported MongoDB Versions
==========================
MongoEngine is currently tested against MongoDB v2.4, v2.6, and v3.0. Future
versions should be supported as well, but aren't actively tested at the moment.
Make sure to open an issue or submit a pull request if you experience any
problems with MongoDB v3.2+.

Installation
============
We recommend the use of `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/>`_ and of
`pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_. You can then use ``pip install -U mongoengine``.
You may also have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_
and thus you can use ``easy_install -U mongoengine``. Otherwise, you can download the
source from `GitHub <http://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_ and run ``python
setup.py install``.

Dependencies
============
All of the dependencies can easily be installed via `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_.
At the very least, you'll need these two packages to use MongoEngine:

- pymongo>=2.7.1
- six>=1.10.0

If you utilize a ``DateTimeField``, you might also use a more flexible date parser:

- dateutil>=2.1.0

If you need to use an ``ImageField`` or ``ImageGridFsProxy``:

- Pillow>=2.0.0

Examples
========
Some simple examples of what MongoEngine code looks like:

.. code :: python

    from mongoengine import *
    connect('mydb')

    class BlogPost(Document):
        title = StringField(required=True, max_length=200)
        posted = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.utcnow)
        tags = ListField(StringField(max_length=50))
        meta = {'allow_inheritance': True}

    class TextPost(BlogPost):
        content = StringField(required=True)

    class LinkPost(BlogPost):
        url = StringField(required=True)

    # Create a text-based post
    >>> post1 = TextPost(title='Using MongoEngine', content='See the tutorial')
    >>> post1.tags = ['mongodb', 'mongoengine']
    >>> post1.save()

    # Create a link-based post
    >>> post2 = LinkPost(title='MongoEngine Docs', url='hmarr.com/mongoengine')
    >>> post2.tags = ['mongoengine', 'documentation']
    >>> post2.save()

    # Iterate over all posts using the BlogPost superclass
    >>> for post in BlogPost.objects:
    ...     print '===', post.title, '==='
    ...     if isinstance(post, TextPost):
    ...         print post.content
    ...     elif isinstance(post, LinkPost):
    ...         print 'Link:', post.url
    ...     print
    ...

    # Count all blog posts and its subtypes
    >>> BlogPost.objects.count()
    2
    >>> TextPost.objects.count()
    1
    >>> LinkPost.objects.count()
    1

    # Count tagged posts
    >>> BlogPost.objects(tags='mongoengine').count()
    2
    >>> BlogPost.objects(tags='mongodb').count()
    1

Tests
=====
To run the test suite, ensure you are running a local instance of MongoDB on
the standard port and have ``nose`` installed. Then, run ``python setup.py nosetests``.

To run the test suite on every supported Python and PyMongo version, you can
use ``tox``. You'll need to make sure you have each supported Python version
installed in your environment and then:

.. code-block:: shell

    # Install tox
    $ pip install tox
    # Run the test suites
    $ tox

If you wish to run a subset of tests, use the nosetests convention:

.. code-block:: shell

    # Run all the tests in a particular test file
    $ python setup.py nosetests --tests tests/fields/fields.py
    # Run only particular test class in that file
    $ python setup.py nosetests --tests tests/fields/fields.py:FieldTest
    # Use the -s option if you want to print some debug statements or use pdb
    $ python setup.py nosetests --tests tests/fields/fields.py:FieldTest -s
