I am new to Mongo DB and Django. I’ve been trying to use Mongo DB as my primary Database for Django. I’ve installed MongoDB and Django-nonrel as per the following link:
The version of django-nonrel, i am using is 1.7. Clone link to it:
pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django@nonrel-1.7
After following all steps, my settings.py in the django project file looks something like this:
DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine', 'NAME': 'blink', 'USER': '', 'PASSWORD': '', 'HOST': '127.0.0.1', 'PORT': 1234, } } INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'djangotoolbox', )
But while running the manage.py using the following command:
python manage.py runserver
I am getting an error like this,
System check identified no issues (0 silenced). Unhandled exception in thread started by <function check_errors.<locals>.wrapper at 0x104a95f80> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 222, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 107, in inner_run self.check_migrations() File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 159, in check_migrations executor = MigrationExecutor(connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS]) File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 242, in __getitem__ backend = load_backend(db['ENGINE']) File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 108, in load_backend return import_module('%s.base' % backend_name) File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/importlib/__init__.py", line 90, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1584, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1565, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1532, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 584, in _check_name_wrapper File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1022, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1003, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 560, in module_for_loader_wrapper File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 853, in _load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 980, in get_code File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 313, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/Users/sunilkumar/blink/lib/python3.3/site-packages/django_mongodb_engine/base.py", line 265 raise ImproperlyConfigured, exc_info[1], exc_info[2] ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I am not able to understand what the error is. Can somebody please help.?

Answer
It seems that you are using Python 3. But django-mongodb-engine
, on which django-nonrel
depends, doesn’t even support Python 3 yet.
The syntax error above is actually valid in py3, but not in py2. Thus the error.
Perhaps you should consider using py2 for this project.
