Question

I attempted to install pymongo to my Windows box with Python 3.2 through easy_install, only to find that it will not install due to incompatibilities with Python 3.2.

Therefore, is there an equivalent to pymongo that will work with Python 3.2? MongoDB is an integral part of the application I was developing on Python 2.7, and to move to Python 3.2 I will need to retain this interactivity.

Thanks!

Edit: this answer is outdated. PyMongo now officially supports Python 3.

The answer was already given in comments, but I’ll provide a comprehensive summary nontheless:

• As of May 2011, Python 3 is not officially supported by MongoDB
• Ticket for “Support for Python 3” has been some years ago (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-84) so the MongoDB developers are aware of this need.
• As already told by Adam, there is a port of PyMongo for Python 3 in PyPi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pymongo3) which could be used and is defined as “semi-official”
• Source codes for the Python 3 fork are available at https://github.com/sovnarkom/mongo-python3-driver
• If you want make on impact on making this fork official make an upvote to its ticket (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-84)
• With enough upvotes/user requests, I would expect to get an official Python 3 driver someday
