MongoDB Compatibility

The following compatibility table specifies the recommended version or versions of PyMongo for use with a specific version of MongoDB.

The first column lists the driver version.

Important

MongoDB ensures compatibility between the MongoDB Server and the drivers for three years after the server version's end of life (EOL) date. To learn more about the MongoDB release and EOL dates, see MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules.

Language Compatibility

PyMongo supports both CPython and PyPy.

When a version of Python is marked end-of-life (EOL), the next minor release of PyMongo drops support for that version. The driver offers the following ongoing support for EOL Python versions:

  • CPython: The last minor PyMongo version compatible with the EOL CPython version receives critical bug fixes for one year.

  • PyPy: PyMongo doesn't support PyPy versions past their EOL date.

The following compatibility table specifies the recommended version of PyMongo for use with a specific version of Python. The first column lists the driver version.

[1] Versions of Python 3.10 and later are not compatible with TLS/SSL for versions of MongoDB 4.0 and earlier. For more information, see the TLS section of the Troubleshooting guide.
[2] Pymongo 4.1 requires Python 3.6.2 or later.

Note

PyPy3 is a Python 3.2-compatible alternative interpreter.

Python 2

PyMongo versions 3.7 through 3.12 are compatible with Python 2.7 and PyPy, a Python 2.7- compatible alternative interpreter.
