    db = conn[urlparse(MONGO_URL).path[1:]]
else:
    # Not on an app with the MongoHQ add-on, do some localhost action
    conn = pymongo.Connection('localhost', 27017)

ditto to everyone above. this is great. however, i needed to include "from urlparse import urlparse" in my code.

This is the "python-mongo-heroku" answer, thanks.

I wish MongoHQ had this in their documentation... thanks!

Thanks for this!
