Question

The code is

mongoengine.connect('admin', host='xxx.dotcloud.com', port=16333 , username='root', password='pass')


and it shows the error message that:

09:37:43 [www.0] raise TypeError("port must be an instance of int")

I’ve tried int(16333), still not working.

I’m new to python, could you give me some advise on that? I’m totally confused.

Answer 1

You can rest assured that 16333 is indeed an int:

>>> isinstance(16333, int)
True

So, the problem must come from elsewhere. Chances are you have an invalid port number set in your MongoDB configuration file, and connect() tries to parse it even if you provide a port argument.
