I came across your great presentation on using Django and MongoDB. At the same time I am wondering if you are aware of djongo: https://nesdis.github.io/djongo/

 It translates a SQL query string into a mongoDB query document. I can use the original django ORM without having to install a new ODM to get Django to work!

I wonder why you feel using MongoEngine is a better alternative. It would be great if you could take a look at this implementation and help me with your valuable insights.

Thanks

MongoEngine was maybe the better alternative back in 2010 but since then I've pretty much stopped using MongoDB so my opinions about ODMs are minimal.
Your project looks brave. I hope that people who search for Mongo+Django end up here and get to your project.

Thank you for your encouraging words!

I was really hoping someone could write a small article/blog on this implementation on their website. It works off the shelve and is very easy to use...
