• Operating Mongodb with python
  First of all we need the package pymongo
  New version of pymongo establish the connection to mongodb with MongoClient which can be imported with from pymongo import MongoClient

• Insert data
  Here is the complete processes of inserting data ( into a collection called red from database ‘wine_quality’ )with python:

# mongodb
 client = MongoClient()
 db=client.get_database("wine_quality")
 for row in data:
      print(row)
      db.red.insert(row)

• Retrieve data

# mongodb
    client = MongoClient()
    db = client.get_database("wine_quality")
    data=db.red.find()
    for row in data:
        print(row)
