skimming over the official MongoDB manual which is available in a few
different formats and constantly updated at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Manual. While the
manual describes the JavaScript interface via the mongo console utility as opposed to the Python
interface, most of the code snippets should be easily understood by a
Python programmer and more-or-less portable to PyMongo, albeit sometimes

database administration topics than is possible in this book.
For the Python language and standard library, you can use the
help() function in the interpreter or

get API documentation for any methods or modules. For example:

with each release. You can find this at http://api.mongodb.org/python/. Additionally, once you have
