Integrating Mongoengine into Pylons is really quick and painless if you know where to put stuff.

Add your DB settings to your development.ini file

mongodb.host = host[,replHost2]
mongodb.port = port
mongodb.db = db_name
mongodb.username = uname
mongodb.password = pass

Connect to MongoDB in config/environment.ini

At the top, include Mongoengine

from mongoengine import connect

And at the bottom, just before we return, include the following line:

# Connect with Mongoengine
connect(config['mongodb.db'], host=config['mongodb.host'], port=int(config['mongodb.port']), username=config['mongodb.username'], password=config['mongodb.password'])

Add your models

Now we can create our models just like in the Mongoengine documentation.
