如何使用pymongo从受密码保护的Mongo Server复制数据库？

Question

I am trying to copy a database from a Mongo Server to my local Mongo instance.

I need to do this through python and am running Pymongo 3.4 , which doesn't have the copy_database method anymore. Instead, I have tried using the client.admin.command('copydb', ...) function instead. However, seems that it does not support authentication of the source Mongo Server anymore.

Are there any workarounds to this?

Thanks

Are there any workarounds to this?

As mentioned on the comments, there is currently no workaround to copy an authenticated source MongoDB server to another server via PyMongo (version 3.4)

For more explanation on the reason behind it, please read Blog: PyMongo's 'copy_database'

Depending on the requirements, you could utilise mongo shell method db.copyDatabase() to copy from one mongod to another.
