Description
Lately i have been trying to connect my django app with MongoDb by using Djongo as a connector engine but everytime i try to connect them it shows up with an error "djongo isnt an available database backend" . I tried finding the source of the problem and noticed that django only recognizes the databases that are stored in the db/backends directory of the django app and when we pip install djongo it apparently stores it in the site-packages folder of the django app which is external to the backends directory . So to recognize djongo as a valib database backend we need to install it in appropriate directory . I have answered these query on github and here's the link for the answer "https://github.com/nesdis/djongo/issues/171#issuecomment-571087529".
Djongo is probably not yet compatible with Django 3.0, looking at
django>=2.0,<3in setup.py.
