+=== Via a python API ===
+The full documentation of the python API is available online at [[http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/|http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/]]. Below is a simple example usage:
+  import pymongo
+  mclient = pymongo.Connection()
+  db = mclient['roslog']
+  # get the collections
+  db.collection_names()
+  [u'turtle1_color_sensor', u'system.indexes', u'turtle1_pose', u'turtle1_
+  command_velocity']
+  # show all the data in the database
+  docs = db['turtle1_pose'].find()
+  for d in docs:
+    print d
+  # this displays a long list with elements like these
+  {u'__topic': u'/turtle1/pose', u'linear_velocity': 0.0, u'theta': 1.9824
+  440479278564, u'y': 8.26992130279541, u'x': 4.029432773590088, u'_id': O
