I looked around and found this post discussing the merits of various ways of using MongoDB with Django/Python:

Of the various frameworks discussed, mongoengine comes out on top, and this looks about right based on a quick scan of them.
So, time to dive into code. 

This little repo is a Django app that makes simple use of mongoengine (you must also have pymongo 1.1+ installed)
