It bridges PyMongo and AWS by using boto3 and botocore to obtain temporary security tokens and pass them to MongoDB's MONGODB-AWS authentication mechanism. This allows applications running on AWS (EC2, Lambda, ECS, etc.) or with AWS credentials configured locally to authenticate to MongoDB Atlas or self-hosted MongoDB instances without managing long-lived database passwords.\n\nThe package is designed as a drop-in extension: once installed, you specify `authMechanism=MONGODB-AWS` in your MongoDB connection string, and pymongo-auth-aws handles credential retrieval and token generation transparently. It supports CPython 3.8+ and PyPy 3.7+, and is actively maintained by MongoDB.","worth_installing":"Yes. Install this if you are using PyMongo with MongoDB Atlas or MongoDB instances that support MONGODB-AWS authentication and you want to authenticate using AWS IAM credentials. It has low install friction, is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. The only prerequisite is that you have AWS credentials available in your environment."},"id":"pymongo-auth-aws","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pymongo-auth-aws","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pymongo-auth-aws.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pymongo-auth-aws/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pymongo-auth-aws","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"MONGODB-AWS authentication support for PyMongo"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2213863,"position":3205,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.0"}
