database must be an instance of database pymongo

Question

I am trying this

username1 = "admin"
password = "password"
host = "localhost"

prefix = 'mongodb://' + username1 + ':'
suffix =  '@' + host + ':27017/'
connString =  prefix + urllib.quote(password) + suffix
db = MongoClient(connString)
fs = gridfs.GridFS(db)//getting error at this line

And the error is database must be an instance of database pymongo.

I am following this

Your help will be highly appreciated.

You need to provide database to GridFS as shown in the example. Right now you db is a database connection. Use db = MongoClient(connString).my_collection — Sohaib Farooqi

The misunderstanding here is a result of misnomer.

The following creates a connection.

connection = MongoClient(connString)

To get a pymongo.database object you can readily make one on the fly by accessing an inexistent field on the connection instance or one for a database that already exists.

db = connection.roundhouse # where roundhouse is the name for my database
