How to close a mongodb python connection?
Use close() method on your MongoClient instance:
client = pymongo.MongoClient()
# some code here
client.close()
close() is an alias for disconnect() method:
Disconnecting will close all underlying sockets in the connection pool. If this instance is used again it will be automatically re-opened.
The safest way to close a pymongo connection would be to use it with 'with':
with pymongo.MongoClient(db_config['HOST']) as client:
db = client[ db_config['NAME']]
item = db["document"].find_one({'id':1})
print(item)
