Compatibility

MongoDB Compatibility

The following compatibility table specifies the recommended version or versions of PyMongo for use with a specific version of MongoDB.

The first column lists the driver version.

When a replica set runs in Docker, it might expose only one MongoDB endpoint. In this case, the replica set is not discoverable. Specifying directConnection=false in your connection URI, or leaving this option unset, can prevent your application from connecting to it.

In a test or development environment, you can connect to the replica set by specifying directConnection=true. In a production environment, we recommend configuring the cluster to make each MongoDB instance accessible outside of the Docker virtual network.

Language Compatibility

PyMongo supports both CPython and PyPy.

When a version of Python is marked end-of-life (EOL), the next minor release of PyMongo drops support for that version. The driver offers the following ongoing support for EOL Python versions:

• CPython: The last minor PyMongo version compatible with the EOL CPython version receives critical bug fixes for one year.

• PyPy: PyMongo doesn't support PyPy versions past their EOL date.
