pymongo - "dnspython" module must be installed to use mongodb+srv:// URIs

In order to use mongo+srv protocol, you need to install pymongo-srv Launch this command to do it with python 3:

pip3 install pymongo[srv]

or this one for other versions:

pip install pymongo[srv]

And as suggested by @lukrebs, add quotes for ZSH:

pip3 install 'pymongo[srv]'

I would like to answer my own questions here. As I mentioned in the comment, the kernel of the jupyter notebook has to be restarted in order for the pymongo to take effect of the loaded dnspython.

I solved this problem with:

$ python -m pip install pymongo[srv]

In requirements.txt, replace pymongo with pymongo[tls,srv], as mentioned here.

I got stuck with the same problem and tried

pip install dnspython==2.0.0

This is the latest version from https://pypi.org/project/dnspython/

It worked :D

you can use mongo:// instead of mongodb+srv://

May be the protocol, your URI should start with:

mongo+srv instead of mongo+src

If it still not working please put a pip list with the versions of PyMongo and dnspython (and version of python that you are using)

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 18 but since I am using Anaconda I just tried

Conda install dns python

I had an IPython running, it did not work while the same instance was open but when I restarted that instance it worked.

On a different machine using

Conda install dns python

and it worked but I had to restart my machine altogether due to a different reason before testing it

I had the same issue and found the following line.

import dns.resolver
dns.resolver.default_resolver=dns.resolver.Resolver(configure=False)
dns.resolver.default_resolver.nameservers=['8.8.8.8'] 

It worked for me.

pip install dnspython

dnspython is a DNS toolkit for Python. It supports almost all record types. It can be used for queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It supports TSIG authenticated messages and EDNS0.

None of the existing answers had worked for me. I had to do the following:

sudo apt-get install python3-dnspython
