How do I use Visual Studio Code to connect to a newly created MongoDB collection?

I saw this question was asked once before but the answer did not help my situation.
I am a beginner software development student trying to connect Visual Studio Code to a newly created collection in MongoDB and display the collection, through a python file.
I'm sorry if that explanation doesn't use established terminology, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing yet. I am using the code my professor provided and yet I get a whole host of syntax errors and a message that says there is no module named MongoClient. I am not allowed to use anything but VS Code so trying a different environment isn't an option. Here is my code:
Import MongoClient
from pymongo import MongoClient
url = “mongodb+srv://admin:admin#cluster0.zcfrz.mongodb.net/pytech?retryWrites=true”
client = MongoClient(url)
db = client.pytech
print(db.list_collection_names)
Any guidance would be truly appreciated.

You Got this error saying there is no MongoClient simply because of the first line.
You can't import MongoClient directly you need to import it from pymongo.
you can read more about how to use pymongo on the official docs.
So the correct way based on the code you provided is (just remove the first line):
from pymongo import MongoClient
url = "mongodb+srv://admin:admin#cluster0.zcfrz.mongodb.net/pytech?retryWrites=true"
client = MongoClient(url)
db = client.pytech
print(db.list_collection_names)
Also you need to make sure you have pymongo installed. to do that read this on the python pypi.
I'm assuming you have pytyhon3 and pip3 installed . it's simple and straight forward just use pip to install it :
pip3 install pymongo
Alternatively :
python3 -m pip install pymongo
Also : i noticed you are mongodb+srv protocol so you need to install dnspython as well :
pip install dnspython

Looks like I was missing a "()" in my last line of code. I had print(db.list_collection_names), but what was needed was print(db.list_collection_names()). Since list_collection_names is a function I needed another set of parenthesis inside the print call.

Check if there's surfix like venv or conda in your selected python interpreter located in lower left corner of VS Code. If not, you're not using any virtual environment but global one.
pythonpath is in Settings.json and could be generated automatically by selecting python interpreter. Run pip show pymongo in integrated Terminal to check if the module is located in current selected python environment. If it is, then you should import pymongo and use MongoClient without errors:

J meter with Python : how to import the packages

Iam new bee to the jmeter
My code is working in the Python 2.7 with importing additional packages Dateutil, parser .
Problme : But when I am trying to run same code in the J Meter-JSR-223 PreProcessors , an error saying No module named dateutil in.
So , I have tried another approach to use Jython .
Installed the Jython ( downloaded the dateutil) and provide the packages reference under
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Jython27/Lib/site-packages')
sys.path.append('C:/Jython27/Lib/site-packages/python_dateutil-2.4.2-py2.7/dateutil')
sys.path.append('C:/Jython27/Lib/site-packages/python_dateutil-2.4.2-py2.7/dateutil')
Now packages error is gone but string syntax error is present .
java.sql.Date' object has no attribute .

I believe dateutil package can be picked up from CPython as it doesn't require any extra wrappers for Java.
Install dateutil normally using pip like:
pip install python-dateutil
Add site-packages folder of Python (not Jython) installation to sys.path like:
sys.path.append("C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages")
That's it, now you should be able to use dateutil module functions from the JSR223 Test Elements:
Be aware that invoking Python scripts via Jython interpreter is not the best idea from performance perspective and if you're about to invoke your Python code only limited number of times and/or with a single thread - it might be better to go for the OS Process Sampler.
If you plan to use the Python code to create the main load - consider using Locust tool instead of JMeter. If you don't want to change JMeter a good approach would be rewriting your Python code in Groovy - it will be way better from the performance perspective.

hi please find follwing
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages')
sys.path.append('C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/python_dateutil-2.4.2-py2.7/dateutil')
from dateutil.parser import *
sourceDateTimeOfEvent = ""
dateTimeOfEvent = ""
a=parse('2016-07-01 13:00:00')
sourceDateTimeOfEvent = a.isoformat()+"+05:30Z"
dateTimeOfEvent = a.isoformat()+ "Z"
vars.put("sourceDateTimeOfEvent", sourceDateTimeOfEvent)
vars.put("dateTimeOfEvent", dateTimeOfEvent)
This sourceDateTimeOfEvent and dateTimeOfEvent considered as two variables and passed it to the json file

Got errors, while running exe file built with pyinstaller and Google Cloud API integration in python

I am working one file python project.
I integrated google-cloud-API for realtime speech streaming and recognition.
It works with python aaa.py command well.
Now I need windows build file(.exe), so I used pyinstaller program and I got aaa.exe file successfully.
But I got this error while running speech streaming by using Google cloud API.
[Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'D:\AI\ai\dist\AAA\google\cloud\gapic\speech\v1\speech_client_config.json'
So I copied this speech_client_config.json file in needed path, after that I got below error again.
Exception in 'grpc._cython.cygrpc.ssl_roots_override_callback'

src/core/lib/security/security_connector/security _connector.cc:1170]
assertion failed: pem_root_certs != nullptr
Then, I can not find solution to get working version with google-cloud API.
I am using python version 2.7.14
I need your friendly help.
Thanks.

I had the same problem. If you are willing to distribute roots.pem with your executable (just search for the file - it should be buried deep within the installation directory of grpcio), I had luck fixing this by setting GRPC_DEFAULT_SSL_ROOTS_FILE_PATH environment variable to the full path of this roots.pem file.

Update 2021
To anyone who is experiencing this issue. I got it working thanks to these amazing people. See the full conversation on this github issue.
Here is the link
Step 1
Credits to #cbenhagen & #rising-stark on this github link.
A PyInstaller hook called hook-grpc.py looking like this would do the trick:
Create a python file named hook-grpc.py with this code.
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
datas = collect_data_files('grpc')
Step 2
Put the hook-grpc.py file in your \site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks directory of the python environment you are running on. So basically you can find it at
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks
Note:
Just change the yourusername and Python37 to your
respective username and python version you are using.
For Anaconda users it might be different. Check this site
to find the anaconda python environment path you are using.
Step 3
Once you've done that you can now convert your .py python program to .exe using pyinstaller and it should work.

This looks to me like a SSL credentials mistake. I think you are not being allowed to GC. Check this code snippet and this documentation.

How can I import hbase in python?

I'm trying to play around with hbase in python and I am using the cloudera repository to install the hadoop/hbase packages. It seems to work as I can access and work on the database using the shell but its not fully working within python.
I know to communicate with hbase I need thrift so I downloaded and complied it from source, I can import thrift into python but when I do from hbase import Hbase, I get module not found errors.
Does anyone know what package/module I would need to get it to work? I tried to look around easy_install and yum(I'm using centos6) and no luck. I did find an article where a person using debain installed it by doing sudo aptiutde install python-hbase I don't have that command/package, so I'm not sure how to get it(or if I have to compile from source to get it).
Also if it helps, I installed most of the base from cloudera and followed some instructions(the ones didn't require install) from http://yannramin.com/2008/07/19/using-facebook-thrift-with-python-and-hbase/
Any help/tips/suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

Have a look at HappyBase (see https://github.com/wbolster/happybase for info). It is the modern way to interact with HBase from Python. It covers the complete Thrift API but wraps it in a much better interface.

Okay, I figured it out. If anyone else is having problems with this in the future its actually pretty easy. In the step where you run thrift --gen py Hbase.thrift, it creates a hbase folder in the location you ran that command. Simply take that command and copy it to your default module folder(or in the folder where you run your program and it should work).

search for /src/contrib/thriftfs/gen-py under hadoop installation folder
Copy the output of thrift --gen py Hbase.thrif onto the location below (part till /home/hadoop/data/ will differ in your case) /home/hadoop/data/hadoop-1.0.4/src/contrib/thriftfs/gen-py
then
$ python
import sys
sys.path.append("/home/hadoop/data/hadoop-1.0.4/src/contrib/thriftfs/gen-py")
import hbase
It should work now

outlook PST File extracting via libpst + python

had anyone successfully import and used libpst via python, to extract outlook PST files : http://www.five-ten-sg.com/libpst/ from source package?
It have python bindings but i cannot import after installing (even test.py script comes with it dont work)
Here is Mercurial repo to latest version. Can you guys give a try? i need help..

Actually libpst Python is not well developed , and i had to use from readpst commandline , wrapping inside subprocess call.
So i have to answer this my own.
