How to insert a Python object in Mongodb?
You can use the pymongo library in Python to connect to a MongoDB database and use it to insert, update, delete, etc objects in Python. The library supports Python datetime objects out of the box and you dont need to do anything special to insert dates in Mongo using PyMongo. For example,
Example
from pymongo import MongoClient # This will try to connect to MongoDB on the default port and host client = MongoClient() db = client.test_database # Insert the given dictionary to the objects collection: result = db.objects.insert_one({"last_modified": datetime.datetime.utcnow()}) print("Object inserted!")
Output
This will give the output −
Object inserted!
Note − Always use datetime.datetime.utcnow(), which returns the current time in UTC, instead of datetime.datetime.now(), which returns the current local time.
