Mongoengine: database names cannot contain the character '.'
I am trying to insert document using mongoengine but it raises an exception:
(<class 'pymongo.errors.InvalidName'>, InvalidName("database names cannot contain the character '.'",), <traceback object at 0x000000000844F708>)
Connection string is mongodb://user:[email protected]:42487/db-name
Any suggestion how to fix this??
Thanks

Rather than using
connect("mongodb://user:[email protected]:42487/db-name")
use this
connect(
db='db-name',
username='user',
password='pass',
host='mongodb://user:[email protected]:42487/db-name'
)
It worked for me. :)

connect(db='db-name', username='user', password='pass', host=ds042487-a0.mlab.com, port=42487) should work also
