Question

I am trying to run a simple hello world example in python that runs against mongodb. I’ve set up mongo, bottle and pymong and have the following script inside C:\Python27\Scripts:

import bottle
import pymongo


@bottle.route('/')
def index()
    from pymongo import Connection
    connection = Connection('localhost', 27017)

    db = connection.test

    names = db.names

    item = names.find_one()

    return '<b>Hello %s!</b>' % item['name']

bottle.run(host='localhost', port=8082)

-!-- hello.py   All L8  (Python)

I want to run this locally and I go to http://localhost:8082 but I get not found not found. How can I run that code to test it locally on my computer so I can test the code via the browser. I am running Windows 7 and have WAMP installed.

Answer 1

1) Add : after function name:

def index():

2) WAMP does not include MongoDB. You need to install Mongodb locally as well.

3) If something doesn’t work, then you generally should be looking console for errors.
