Cannot use mongokit with either python3 or python2

[ghost]

In python3 doing from mongokit import Document, Connection gives me

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-6f596f957541> in <module>()

---> 31 from cursor import Cursor
     32 from operators import *
     33 from schema_document import *

ImportError: No module named 'cursor'

and in python2, running the same import gives

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/<pathtohome>/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mongokit/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>

ImportError: No module named master_slave_connection

I'm having trouble getting a clear picture of mongokit's status on python3.

I think that sadly MongoKit is dead see issue #182. There haven't been any updates in months, it is failing because it doesn't support pymongo 3+ which is the version that gets pulled down or python 3. There is MongoKat which looks like it might be picking up where MongoKit left off but it also seems to have died off since there hasn't been any activity since March.

I have in fact switched to using Mongokat, which is nice, but not as full featured as Mongokit.

Might as well leave the issue open in case one day things change.

@evilhamsterman MongoKat is definitely not dead, it's used in production, actively supported and we just merged Python 3 support :-)

For python 2.x downgrade pymongo to 2.8:
$ pip install pymongo==2.8

For python 3.x install mongokit-py3 :
$ pip uninstall mongokit
$ pip install mongokit-py3

pip install mongokit-py3, give me error : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymongo.master_slave_connection'
