How to use mongohq or mongolab on OpenShift

Question

I want to use mongoHQ in my application A part of code in views.py:

from pymongo import MongoClient

def connect_db():
    client = MongoClient('mongodb://myname:[email protected]:10087/blog')
    return client

@app.before_request
def before_request():

There is a MongoHQ quickstart located here:
https://github.com/MongoHQ/mongohq-openshift-quickstart

While its a ruby app and not a python app it should point you in the right direction for your app config.

I had a similar problem earlier today. I solved it by adding the following line to requirements.txt:

pymongo==2.8.1
