Error while setting up MongoDB with django using d

Question

Steps I followed :

1. 'pip install git+htp://github.com/django-nonrel/django@nonrel-1.5'

It did not work, so I downloaded the zip from the site "htp://github.com/django-nonrel/django" and pasted the unzipped folder inside "c:\users\hp\appdata\local\temp\pip-m0d0y9bv-build".

2. 'pip install git+htp://github.com/django-nonrel/djangotoolbox'
3. 'pip install git+htp://github.com/django-nonrel/mongodb-engine'

NOTE

*** I have used 'htp' instead of 'https' as I have reputation less than 10.

4. configured my settings.py file as follows:-

.

import os       

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))         

SECRET_KEY = '4j*aieq$cn&sewl0s2#&m00+^oe%qg9p=@mlva96_r48nv-pkl'

        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {

                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'myproject.wsgi.application'



DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine',
        'NAME': 'test',
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',

        'PORT': 27017,


    }
}

TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

USE_I18N = True

USE_TZ = True

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

5. I got the below error when i started running server using command 'python manage.py runserver'

.

What am I missing here ? I have followed the steps from django - mongoengine documentation. However, I am unable to figure out the issue. Please help me out of this.

Answer 1

Django-mongodb-engine does not appear to be compatible with Python 3. In any case, django-nonrel itself is based on Django 1.5, which is definitely not Python 3 compatible.
