The collection will not be created until you add data, this is since collections and even databases in MongoDB are done lazily by default.

If you wish to explicitly allocate a collection eagerly then use db.create_collection(name): http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/api/pymongo/database.html#pymongo.database.Database.create_collection
