It also has access to sqlite as part of the standard library. But the standard library doesn't have anything equivalent for a NoSQL database.</p> <p>According to the <a href="https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#technology-most-popular-technologies">2022 Stack Overflow developer survey</a>, MongoDB is the most popular NoSQL database (and the 4th most popular database overall), and the most wanted NoSQL database which 17% of developers wanting to use it.</p> <p>I'm also mindful that MongoDB stopped being open source with its Server Side Public License (SSPL).</p> <p>For all these reasons I think Python should have a NoSQL document database as part of the standard library; and that its functionality should be based on that of MongoDB.
